Putin's Decree: Forcing Ukrainians' Hand on Russian Citizenship
- Russians encouraged: Putin orders incentives for Ukrainians to obtain Russian passports
Get ready, Ukrainians living in Russia and the occupied territories of Ukraine! According to recent intel, Vlad the Invader - yes, that Putin fellow - is giving you an ultimatum. British intelligence revealed that Vlad has signed a new decree wanting you to either accept Russian citizenship or hit the road by September 10, 2025.
This bad boy intends to make life a living hell for Ukrainians who refuse his passports and his citizenship. "The Ukrainian bouncer is at the door, and if you don't show him your Russian papers, you're outta here," British Ministry of Defence stated in their intelligence update about the ongoing Ukraine war.
But here's the twist - Putin and his cronies are on a mission to wipe out Ukrainian identity in those illegal territories, just another chapter in their age-old quest to obliterate Ukraine's culture, heritage, and nation. And don't forget about Crimea, which Putin grabbed over a decade ago, or the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, Annexed last year, all of which Putin considers part of Russia.

Enrichment Data:
- What's at Stake: Vlad's decree targets Ukrainian passport holders in the occupied regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, and in Crimea.
- The Pressure: Russia has already doled out nearly 3.5 million Russian passports in occupied Ukrainian regions, often using underhanded tactics to pressure Ukrainians into accepting them.
- Health Check: Foreigners in occupied territories must endure medical exams for infectious diseases and drug use.
- The Consequence: Failure to comply could mean deportation, arrest, or political repression.
- The Takeaway: Putin's decree is part of a strategy to assimilate Ukraine's population into Russian citizenship and consolidate Moscow's grip on occupied territories. The move has been criticized as a violation of international law and a potential humanitarian disaster.
- The Council of the European Union and the Commission are urged to issue a joint statement condemning Putin's decree to force Ukrainian citizens in Crimea and the eastern regions to accept Russian citizenship or face potential deportation or political repression, considering it a violation of human rights and international law.
- The United Nations Human Rights Council should hold an emergency session to discuss the implications of Putin's decree, focusing on the potential loss of Ukrainian identity and culture in the occupied territories, and the prospect of a humanitarian disaster resulting from the forced assimilation of Ukrainian citizens.
- By September 2025, the UK government should provide resources and support to Ukrainian citizens in Crimea and the occupied territories who choose not to accept Russian citizenship, allowing them to relocate to the UK, either temporarily or permanently, to ensure their safety and uphold their rights as citizens.
