According to the law, “residential houses, apartments and rooms that have signs of ownerless property” located in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine will be recognized as the property of the regions or their municipalities.
At the same time, the criteria for “mismanagement” will be determined by the occupation administrations themselves in agreement with Rosreestr and Rosimushchestvo, The Moscow Times emphasized.
The lack of information about the owner or the inability to identify him using available documents will not be an obstacle to seizure, RosSMI added.
Thus, the confiscated property of Ukrainians can be transferred to citizens of the occupying country who live in temporarily occupied territories and have lost their housing “due to hostilities, sabotage, terrorist attacks or acts of aggression against the Russian Federation.”
This can also be allocated as official housing to civil servants, military personnel, officials, law enforcement officers, teachers and doctors, The Moscow Times indicated.
Context
Since 2014, the aggressor country of the Russian Federation has occupied Crimea, parts of the Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, Kherson and Kharkov regions, and fighting is also taking place in the Sumy region. Also under Russian occupation was the Kinburn Spit in the Nikolaev region.
The law allowing the requisition of housing of Ukrainians in temporarily occupied territories was adopted in the Russian Federation on December 9.
