The authorities there make essentials such as food aid and pensions dependent on the possession of a Russian passport, leaving many Ukrainians no choice but to accept one.
The Kremlin has not officially announced January 1 as the deportation date, but under current Russian law, Ukrainians are only allowed to stay in the occupied territories without a Russian passport until July 1.
