The Center for National Resistance (CNR) reported that a new wave of repressions is unfolding in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine against those who remain loyal to Ukrainian citizenship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by the press service<\/a> of the Central Intelligence Agency.<\/p>\n

It is noted that another case of persecution of a local resident was recorded in Melitopol – the occupation administration accused him of the so-called “fictitious registration” of Ukrainians without Russian passports.<\/p>\n

This is not an isolated incident, as similar filtration raids by the occupation special services continue throughout the temporary occupation zone \u2014 from the Azov Sea to the north of Luhansk Oblast. The main goal is to force the mass acceptance of Russian passports<\/strong> and create an image of “popular support” for the occupation regime.<\/p>\n

Thus, a resident of Melitopol was accused of allegedly registering people who did not have Russian passports at his home. In reality, he simply provided shelter to acquaintances who did not betray their Ukrainian citizenship.<\/p>\n

Now he is facing an artificially fabricated criminal case<\/strong> , which could result in arrest, deportation, or even imprisonment. The occupiers are thus intimidating Ukrainians<\/strong> , forcing them to surrender and accept documents from the aggressor state, which directly contradicts the norms of international law.<\/p>\n

Russian military and collaborators are trying to impose the illusion of voluntary accession to the Russian Federation on the occupied territories. In reality, thousands of Ukrainians are resisting<\/strong> : they do not accept Russian documents, do not cooperate, and retain Ukrainian passports, language, and identity. These filtration raids are a continuation of the policy of genocide<\/strong> , which manifests itself not only in physical violence, but also in an attempt to completely destroy the Ukrainian cultural, legal, and civic presence.<\/p>\n

The Center for National Resistance calls on residents of the occupied territories to join the resistance, keep Ukrainian documents, not succumb to blackmail, and report enemy actions via anonymous chatbots.<\/p>\n

Every recorded violation, every report is a brick in the foundation of future liberation. And proof that Ukrainian identity is not under passport control.<\/p>\n

Recall that Russia plans to approve a new state policy aimed at assimilating peoples within the Russian Federation, including in the occupied territories of Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, the Center for the Study of Occupations reported that the Russian Federation plans to resettle at least 5 million Russians in temporarily occupied territories by 2030<\/a> .<\/p>\n
