Putin wants to evict people without Russian citizenship from the occupied territories
Putin issued a decree that allows the occupiers to evict people from their homes in the territories captured by the Russian army.
The corresponding document appeared on the website of the Kremlin.
As noted, the Russians can evict people who have not received Russian citizenship from the temporarily occupied territories. Putin signed this decree. According to it, stateless people become «foreigners».
According to the Russian Federation, such people can be expelled from the captured territories if they pose a threat to security.
We are talking about those who support the «violent change» of the foundations of the constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as those who plan or finance «terrorist attacks or extremist crimes.»
