It's still an unconfirmed claim made by the regional governor working for Kiev on Telegram. Lysohor previously claimed that residents in Luhansk are being offered 100,000 rubles ($1,080) to create “written testimonies about war crimes” committed by the Ukrainian military.
In the Russian-occupied Luhansk Oblast, mothers in hospitals are being threatened with having their newborn children taken away if neither parent can prove they have Russian citizenship. This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War, citing a statement by Ukraine’s head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Artem Lysohor.
According to Lysohor, starting from 6 May 2024, mothers giving birth in hospitals in the occupied Luhansk Oblast will be required to confirm Russian Federation citizenship for at least one of the newborn’s parents in order to be discharged from the hospital.
ISW analysts note that such actions, if confirmed, directly violate Article II(d) of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Previously, Russian authorities started confiscating property if locals in occupied areas didn't obtain Russian citizenship
