Russian authorities are reportedly only giving Ukrainians certain medicines if they get citizenship. The report says Ukrainians in occupied territories are choosing between Russian citizenship and forgoing care. UK intel previously reported that Russia was forcing occupied Ukrainians to get Russian passports. The Yale Humanitarian Research Lab report, published Wednesday, said Russia's forces in certain occupied areas of Ukraine "have made access to certain medicine and medical care conditional on accepting Russian citizenship." If Ukrainians refuse Russian citizenship, the denial of care "could cause death," the report added.
