How Russia seizes homes in occupied Ukraine | Global News Podcast
Russia is systematically seizing tens of thousands of homes across four illegally annexed regions of Ukraine – Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Documents analysed by the BBC show that 34,000 properties have been taken – or been earmarked for confiscation – so they can be given to Russian passport holders.
Olga Robinson of BBC Verify tells us how the Kremlin has used the strategy of “Russification” in occupied Ukraine.
The practice of seizing homes was formalised in a law signed by Vladimir Putin last year. Moscow says it is part of a ālegal framework for integrating the reunited regionsā into the Russian system. But critics have described it as “demographic engineering” – an attempt to transform the social and political fabric of occupied territory, and make it harder, and less desirable, to ever reintegrate these lands with Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukraine will not accept any peace deal that cedes territory to Russia.

A 22-year-old British national has been arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts in connection with an incident close to RAF Fairford, counter-terror police said.
The man was arrested in Westminster, London, on Tuesday as part of the investigation into the incident near the airbase in Gloucestershire last month.
It is the seventh arrest in connection to the incident – the six other men have been released on bail.

The US has withdrawn all its bombers aircraft stationed at RAF Fairford in the UK following an alleged terror plot to target the facility. Washington has ben using the airfield to launch strikes on Iran, including deploying the B-1 strategic bomber.
In a statement the Pentagon said: āWe can acknowledge now that all US bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have redeployed to their home stations in the United States.ā
The withdrawal of a dozen B-1 strategic aircraft comes after British counter-terrorism police arrested six suspects in connection with a planned attack on the base that US and British officials said was disrupted last Sunday.
Police initially detained five British men near RAF Fairford after three suspicious vans were reported nearby. The suspects were released on police bail while remaining under investigation. Ccounterterrorism officers then arrested a 25-year-old dual British-Iranian citizen on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts linked to the incident. He has also been released on bail while inquiries continue.
The US President Donald Trump has said a planned attack was intended to do ābig damageā and claimed that suspects were under investigation by both US and British authorities. Israelās prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that his country handed Britain intelligence about the suspected terror plot.
The British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there were “strong indications” pointing to Iranian involvement in the incident near the airbase, although he stressed that the police investigation remained ongoing. Iran has denied any connection to an alleged terror operation.
