Quote: "The enemy is distributing newspapers where Russians publish fake statements allegedly made by Zaluzhnyi and Arestovych concerning the so-called ‘loss of Zaporizhzhia’ and despair among the [Ukrainian - ed.] troops."

Details: According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russian occupiers in the temporarily occupied city of Kherson are moving into people’s flats and forcing the local population to get Russian passports.

Russian troops in Mariupol are forcing the residents of Mariupol to procure references from filtration camps. There is currently an acute lack of drinking water in Mariupol.

In the Russian-occupied city of Vovchansk, in Kharkiv Oblast of Ukraine, Russian forces made all patients in one of the city’s hospitals leave and refused to treat them. Instead, the hospital has been filled with wounded Russian soldiers; the hospital staff are being forced to collaborate with the Russians.

In Sorokine, on the temporarily Russian-occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast, Ukrainians deported from elsewhere are being issued with the passports of the so-called "Luhansk People’s Republic."

Earlier:

  • International reporters described the "filtration" process that Ukrainians must undergo in the territories temporarily occupied by Russia.

  • The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has confirmed the reports that Russian occupiers bring their families over from Russia to the city of Kherson and move into homes that belong to Ukrainians.

  • In Kherson Oblast, Russian occupying forces are forcibly issuing "citizenship of the Russian Federation" to newborns.
