WorldHow Russia seizes homes in occupied Ukraine

Russia is systematically taking tens of thousands of homes in four regions of Ukraine that it illegally annexed: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. BBC-reviewed documents indicate that 34,000 properties have already been seized or marked for confiscation. The homes are intended for Russian passport holders. Olga Robinson of BBC Verify explains how the Kremlin has used this policy as part of its strategy of “Russification” in occupied Ukraine.
