Putin Orders Ukrainians From Occupied Territories to Leave by September 10th

A decree signed by Vladimir Putin mandates that Ukrainian citizens in Russia and Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories must leave by September 10, 2025, or legalize their status. This action is part of Russia’s broader effort to Russify annexed territories by encouraging Russian citizens to relocate while pressuring Ukrainians to accept Russian passports or depart. The decree also requires medical screenings for all foreign nationals in occupied regions by June 10. This forceful population displacement is occurring amidst ongoing reports of abuse and repression in Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine.
