Details: In addition, about 60% of residents in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s south are taking a wait-and-see stance, waiting for Ukrainian forces to liberate the area.

Nonetheless, the vast majority of the population in the area opposes Russian occupation and continues to evade obtaining Russian documents.
