MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Almost 90% of residents of Russia's new regions received Russian passports in 2023, and to speed up the process, special migration units have been created, Russian Interior Ministry spokeswoman Irina Volk said on Sunday.
"In the past year, our migration officers have already issued Russian passports to almost 90% of the residents of the new constituent entities of the Russian Federation," Volk said on Telegram.
She added that issuing documents to new citizens was one of the main tasks of the interior ministry.

"For this purpose, nine document printing facilities have been opened in the new regions, as well as in Crimea and the Rostov Region. More than 100 migration units were opened in the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions," she said.

For those who cannot get to the units, organized mobile groups, points and offices have been set up, the spokeswoman added.
