Demographic changes: 157,000 Russians relocated to Sevastopol since occupation

The Center for National Resistance reported the information. 

The Russian State Duma reported a population increase in Sevastopol during the occupation, from 393,000 to 560,000 people.

"It should be noted that the enemy is pursuing a policy of changing the demographic makeup in all temporarily occupied territories. Migrant workers from other regions of the Russian Federation are brought to the captured Ukrainian cities en masse, and Ukrainians are deported forcibly or under pressure," the statement said. 

The Center adds that the number of "Russians" in the occupied regions is also being increased by the forced passportization of Ukrainians. 

• On June 28, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Defense, Hanna Maliar, said that in the temporarily occupied settlements of the Kherson region, residents who have not received a Russian passport were denied access to free medical care.
