Russians falsely classifying Ukrainians entering occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast as refugees — ISW

The occupying "authorities" in the part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast temporarily captured by the Russians falsely classify as "temporary asylum seekers" citizens of Ukraine who enter the occupied region, announced the American Institute for the Study of War in its latest update. The analysts note that the occupation authorities had "signed" an "order" according to which citizens of Ukraine who arrive in the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast are falsely recognized as refugees escaping persecution in Ukraine in accordance with Russian legislation. The Institute says that the occupiers may use the "refugee" status to restrict Ukrainians who temporarily return to the occupied territories after being evacuated from them.
