- Why Russians collect fingerprints of residents of the occupied territories

Russians have started collecting fingerprints of Ukrainians en masse in the temporarily occupied territories. In this way, the invaders are trying to fight the underground and strengthen forced passportisation.
This was reported by the Centre for National Resistance (CNR).
According to the underground, the Russians conducted a raid in southern Ukraine during which they collected fingerprints of local residents.
The occupiers are creating an appropriate base, hoping that this will help them to defeat the underground. Dactyloscopy was done forcibly, and for this purpose they organised a meeting in the villages," the CNS reported,
At the same time, the Russians forced Ukrainians to apply for a Russian passport. Police officers from the "migration department" were involved to put pressure on the villagers. In this way, the occupants are trying to increase the percentage of the population with a Russian passport, because now this level does not satisfy Moscow.
Everyone involved in the forced passportisation will be held responsible for crimes against Ukraine after the de-occupation of the region," the CNS said.
Earlier mi reported that in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson region Russians began forced mobilisation of local residents into the ranks of their army. The enemy has also started taking away satellite TV sets from Ukrainians to spread its propaganda.
