Moscow demands that all teens in Luhansk region have Russian passports by October
The Russian-installed leader, Leonid Pasichnyk, is tasked with forcibly issuing passports to all teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18 in the temporarily occupied Luhansk region
This was reported by the National Resistance Center.
Dissatisfied with the slow pace of passportization, Russia sent inspectors from Moscow to the Luhansk region to oversee the process of issuing Russian documents.
"A commission will be sent to each of the occupied districts to search for teenagers without Russian passports. For this purpose, 'volunteers' from the Kremlin's youth movements, who arrived from Russia, will be involved in house-to-house visits," the National Resistance Center noted.
"Children are offered a free vacation for obtaining a passport, and their parents are threatened with the lack of social benefits or the child's exclusion from school," they added.

In May, the National Resistance Center reported that Russian occupation authorities were threatening to take away the parental rights of Ukrainians whose children did not get Russian passports.
