Description
Before fleeing Russian-occupied Ukraine, Victoria was getting squeezed to apply for a Russian passport she said she never wanted: "I'm a citizen of Ukraine." Soldiers in the street warned her to get one, she could not file key paperwork without it and heard stories of door-to-door checks ending in deportation for those lacking Russian papers. "The majority of these people obtained these passports under the influence of threats and violence, illegal actions," explains Mykhailo Fomenko, a lawyer with Donbas SOS aid group.
