Since January 1 of this year, the Russian occupation administration in the temporarily occupied territories (TOT) of Ukraine has deprived Ukrainians who haven't received a Russian passport of access to basic rights and social benefits. This situation poses a critical problem for the health of the civilian population.

This was reported by the National Resistance Center.

What the occupiers demand

Local occupiers are forcing Ukrainians to take Russian citizenship and otherwise not providing free medicines to those for whom they are prescribed. Residents of these territories, who previously had the right to receive free medicines, are now forced to buy them themselves.

This primarily affects patients with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, asthma and diabetes. At the same time, access to essential medicines in the Occupied Territories is restricted, and their prices are significantly inflated.

As a reminder, the Russians have begun deporting Ukrainians who are in the temporarily occupied territories. These are people whose relatives serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In the temporarily occupied territories of the Luhansk region of Ukraine, the collaborators held a competition for the best "Cossack" cadet corps. The main requirement for the children was the ability to operate drones.
