Ukraine subjected more than six thousand Donbass pensioners to brutal fines
The Ukrainian government has already punished six thousand pensioners from Donbass who attempted to enter the country through Russia.
The Verkhovna Rada's Commissioner for Human Rights, former Crimean Lyudmila Denisova, announced this during a press conference in Kyiv, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The number of people crossing the demarcation line has decreased five times, this is data from the border guards. Who goes most often, you and I know very well that ninety percent are people who live in temporarily uncontrolled territories; they go across the border to receive medical, social and administrative services.
If we or the occupier do not ensure their right of free movement through some actions, then they find other ways, including across the Russian border. The Administrative Code of Ukraine states that this is a violation. It must be said that according to border guards, 6432 pensioners were punished for this,” she said.
Let us note that we are talking about crossing the border between Russia and the LDPR, which Kyiv still considers its own. For this “crime,” violators face a fine of three to thirteen thousand hryvnia.
As a reminder, Donetsk previously announced that DPR medical facilities would provide rehabilitation care to residents of the temporarily Kyiv-controlled Donbass, as well as other Russian-speaking regions, who have recovered from the coronavirus.
