Already several hundred russians living in Ukraine have burned their russian passports to signify a protest against putin's aggression (VIDEO)

The State Bureau of Investigation continues to counteract the enemy at all levels. Among other things, systematic screening of citizens of the russian federation for possible involvement in reconnaissance and sabotage groups is carried out. The vast majority of russians in Ukraine condemn the aggression and separate themselves from the criminal actions of their compatriots.

Almost daily, the SBI informs the public about new cases of russian passports being burnt. Every day, more and more people wish to renounce their russian citizenship and obtain a Ukrainian passport. Men and women, people of all professions and all ages, agree that it is a shame to be a russian after the large-scale invasion of Ukraine by russia.

A resident of the Rivne region also publicly burned his russian passport to signify protest and urged other compatriots to do the same.

The 50-year-old russian citizen was born in Ukraine but moved with his parents to Kamchatka before school. He has lived most of his life there. He served in the army in the Amur region and was trained as a private radiotelephone operator. In 2019, he returned to his native land to care for his elderly father, who also wanted to meet old age in his homeland.

"I am not observing any nazism or fascism here... I condemn president putin's criminal orders and those who carry them out. I don't want to be a russian citizen! I am ready to get rid of my citizenship - the sooner, the better," he points out.

His 18-year-old son left in Russia. The whole family is worried that he will be conscripted into the army because then he would have to go to war against his father and grandfather. The man says he would rather have his son go to prison than go to war. He burned his documents - his passport and military ID card.

The Autonomous Republic of Crimea resident calls on all Ukrainians who were forced to obtain a russian passport in the occupied territories to get rid of it.

In 2014, after the occupation of the Ukrainian peninsula, the man was forced to apply for a "red" passport. But soon after seeing the russian leadership's disdainful attitude towards Ukrainians, he decided to return home to Chernihiv region.

He urges the russian soldiers not to follow the criminal orders of their leadership and to start thinking by their heads.

"I have seen with my eyes all the atrocities the russian army is committing here, destroying the infrastructure of civilian towns, eliminating residents, bombing hospitals. I have seen it all with my own eyes because, in February 2022, I went to the military recruiting centre as a volunteer to defend my state," he notes.

The man believes that every Ukrainian who has been forced to obtain a russian passport should burn it.

"I am done with Russian citizenship for life," says the Crimean man.

In the Lviv region, a 64-year-old russian citizen also decided to get rid of his russian passport.

The man has been living in the region since 1998. He worked on rotation assignments in russia in the gas extraction industry. To signify a protest against russia's actions in Ukraine, he burned his russian passport and urged his compatriots living in Ukraine to do the same.

The man says:

"In the 14 years I have lived in Ukraine, I have not experienced any harassment from Ukrainians.

I do not want to be a citizen of a country that has committed genocide against the Ukrainian people, so I am destroying my passport. Glory to Ukraine!"
