Due to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on the prohibition of people without Russian citizenship to own land in the coastal areas of the occupied Crimea, more than 11 thousand foreigners will lose their land. The number of property owners includes citizens of 55 countries. It is reported by the Russian-controlled state registration committee of Crimea.
"The Unified State Register of Real Estate contains information on 11,572 plots owned by foreign citizens on the peninsula. This list does not include the territories of Simferopol, Dzhankoy and Kranoperekopsk, as well as Bilohirsk, Krasnohvardiiske and Pervomaisk districts. It is noteworthy that such a large figure – these are only those sites that are currently already framed in accordance with Russian legislation”,- the report said.
It is noted that the number of property owners on the peninsula includes citizens of 55 foreign countries. The top five are residents of Ukraine (12,146), Belarus (570), Germany (355), Kazakhstan (334) and Uzbekistan (215).
We remind that Russian President Vladimir Putin expanded the list of territories on which land cannot be owned by “foreigners” and “foreign legal entities”, adding coastal areas of the occupied Crimea to them. The corresponding decree is published on the official portal of legal information.
