Russia is planning to move 114,000 of its citizens into occupied parts of Ukraine, according to reports. The plans do not include improvements to living conditions for the existing Ukrainian population in these areas, indicating that settlement policy is taking precedence over reconstruction efforts. This move appears to be part of a broader strategy to alter the demographic composition of occupied territories. The relocation could further complicate future negotiations over the status of these regions.
