Russians in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine have been denying locals medical treatment if they have not obtained a Russian passport since the beginning of 2024, the National Resistance Center reported on Jan. 21.
Medical treatment is only available to holders of Russian insurance, which can be obtained only with a Russian passport. That’s why the majority of local residents are being denied medical services, except for emergency assistance in critical situations.
Russian occupation authorities have legally equated the residents of temporarily occupied territories to “foreigners” in their own country in this way.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
