Russians threaten to deport Ukrainian citizens in the temporarily occupied Henichesk district of the Kherson region

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

As part of the forced passportisation process, Russians are putting pressure on locals who refuse to acquire Russian citizenship.

People are threatened with deportation and property confiscation, and restricted from moving between settlements.

As a reminder, on April 27, Vladimir Putin signed a decree regarding Ukrainians who do not wish to "obtain" Russian citizenship in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. 

According to the document, people without "citizenship" are considered foreigners and can be deported if they "pose a threat to the national security of the Russian Federation".
