The Russian occupation authorities have created conditions that compel many residents of Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories (TOT) to abandon their homes and relocate to Crimea or various regions of Russia. These forcibly deported Ukrainians are placed in so-called “temporary accommodation centers,” where they are promised housing and food.
Yet, offering food and shelter to people whose homes were destroyed by Russian forces is the height of cynicism. The same occupiers who robbed these individuals of their homes, stability, and peaceful lives now attempt to mask their atrocities under the guise of “aid.”
None of the Kremlin’s so-called “benefits” are offered without ulterior motives. The Russian regime does not provide charity; instead, it exploits the deported population as a tool to serve its own political and social objectives.
The invaders aim to integrate “relocated” Ukrainians into their repressive society, cultivating loyalty to the criminal Russian government while systematically erasing their Ukrainian identity. Simultaneously, they deliberately destroy any conditions that would allow these people to return home, trapping them in a state of dependence and uncertainty under the aggressor’s control.
You can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
