In the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region, Russians are checking the locals for Russian passports

"The Russian occupiers continue to exert psychological pressure on the local population in order to force them to obtain citizenship of the Russian Federation," the post reads.

It is noted that counterintelligence has been strengthened in the temporarily occupied Azovske of the Zaporizhzhia region. Thus, Russian occupation forces check the locals for Russian passports. Citizens without it are forced to put up with additional checks or detention.

Russian occupiers continue to commit looting, taking away homes of peaceful citizens of Ukraine.

"The village council in Strilkove, located in the temporarily occupied Kherson region, is developing an order for the forced, illegal seizure of homes belonging to Ukrainian citizens who were forced to leave the settlement. This action is being pushed by the village head and based on signatures collected from local deputies under duress. The plan is to allocate these homes for the Russian occupation army to house their servicemen," reports the General Staff.
