The occupiers are implementing forced passportization, depriving Ukrainians of social protection. This is reported by the Center for National Resistance, as conveyed by UNN.

Starting January 1, 2025, residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine who do not obtain a Russian passport will lose access to social services. This information is being actively disseminated by Russian media, while the occupying authorities resort to blackmail, endangering the lives of the most vulnerable groups in the population.
Insulin-dependent citizens will be particularly affected, as they will be unable to obtain necessary medications without changing their citizenship. Given the shortage of medications in pharmacies, this places them in a critical situation.
By the end of 2024, the Kremlin plans to force all residents of the occupied territories aged 14 and older to acquire enemy passports. The failure of local collaborators to implement these plans has prompted the occupiers to intensify their threats.
Forced passportization is part of the strategy of the terrorist state aimed at altering the demographic composition of the seized territories and legitimizing its control over Ukrainian lands.
