The tactics of the war in Georgia: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation intensified the certification of Ukrainians - US Department of US

According to Matthew Miller's State Department, the campaign of the Russians from passports is very alarming, because, in addition to threats against Ukrainians in occupation, many restrictions are also used, which do not allow them to continue their lives. "Those who refuse to do it are confronted with limited access to public services, employment and ownership of property. This affects their mobility, health and livelihoods," the message reads.

In addition, Ukrainian parents who do not want to register their young children to obtain Russian citizenship were faced with the fact that they are not allocated parental benefits. In this regard, they are even threatened with deprivation of parental rights.

Matthew Miller reminded the Kremlin that even such methods will not change the reality that the captured territories will remain Ukrainian forever, and those citizens who are temporarily forced to live under someone else's flag will remain Ukrainians. "Certification also gives rise to the further development of the Kremlin's imperial ambitions, allegedly to protect the citizens on which it claims outside its borders.

It is an ancient tactic that Russia applies in the territories occupied by it within the internationally recognized borders of Georgia," Miller said. At the end of the United States again called on the Russian Federation to stop fighting, to leave other people's territories and to mention international law. We will remind, on August 1 it was reported that the Russian Federation will "vote" to those who did not take an enemy passport during the "elections" in the occupied territories.
