In the Russian Federation, an initiative has been launched to map the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine - intelligence

This was reported by the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine.

According to the Foreign Intelligence Service, Russia is launching a new initiative to map the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, aiming to consolidate control over the seized lands and create a legal basis for the appropriation of Ukrainian property. The Russian Ministry of Agriculture announced a tender worth about $4.89 million for the creation of a single map of agricultural lands. The order is posted on the "goszakupki" platform.

The intelligence emphasized that the project aims to formalize annexation, particularly through the administrative integration of the occupied regions into the Russian cadastral accounting system. At the same time, the Foreign Intelligence Service noted that the public registers of Rosreestr still do not reflect these territories and new cadastral districts have not been created for them.

The documentation provides for the use of data up to 2002—the period before the start of land reform in Ukraine. Modern information is considered "undesirable" due to changes in property structure and plot boundaries, explained the Foreign Intelligence Service.

The intelligence stressed that the Kremlin openly ignores Ukrainian legislation, using manipulative statistics to justify the export of grain and other resources. They emphasized that this initiative is another step towards legitimizing the occupation and an attempt to give criminal actions a pseudo-legal form.
