People living in the territory of LNR and DNR are forced to obtain fictional ID documents. They are threatened to have problems if they keep their old passports.
Earlier mostly old people suffered, but now it’s youth’s turn. In Gnutove checkpoint the law enforcements found DNR passport among personal stuff of a girl who was on her way to Mariupol to obtain a biometric passport.
Fake passports are necessary there because of big amount of checkpoints where the militants ask for them while crossing.
