The British Ministry of Defence (MoD) has issued a stark warning regarding the issuance of Russian passports to millions of Ukrainians in occupied territories. In March 2024, around 2.8 million Russian passports were issued, with an additional 700,000 passport issuances to Ukrainians in these regions. The MoD emphasized that possessing a Russian passport equates to conscription into the Russian military. Furthermore, Ukrainian individuals without Russian passports face serious consequences, including being denied access to essential healthcare, social services, and financial aid, while also risking property seizure by authorities.
