Back in late 2022 and throughout 2023, the so-called “lpr” arranged forced medical examinations of children and adolescents in the northern regions of russia to justify the deportation and rehabilitation of children and adolescents. It was carried out by medical workers brought from russia so that locals could not interfere with the procedure. Out of the 136,915 children examined, 68.8% were allegedly diagnosed with some kind of pathology. These diagnoses provide grounds for taking the younger generation to russia for treatment.
Russians have recognised the route moscow – lpr as an international one. In russia, most documents issued by the authorities of lpr are not recognised, even Luhansk residents with russian passports are not taken seriously because they have a certain mark. There is a negative attitude towards registration in the occupied region.
