“Now there is unprecedented pressure on our people: both because of the restriction of movement, and because of the restriction of access to medical services, and increasingly the use of violence against people who refuse to receive this bloody paper. What is it connected with? They no longer count on the fact that, perhaps, after some time, people – residents of the Kherson region, now forced into temporary occupation – will support them there”,- the official said.
