The Russian Embassy in Ukraine is carrying out real estate transactions in temporarily occupied parts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine, TSN reports..

Bypassing the Ukrainian legislation and international agreements, Russians draw up documents for housing that remained on the territory controlled by the militants of Donbass.

The exile from Lugansk helped unmask this machination.

The woman wanted to sell her apartment in the occupied territory and several times appealed to realtors, but they sent her to the Russian consulate, where they allegedly issue power of attorneys that are valid in the area controlled by the militants. The journalists were already deployed at the entrance to the diplomatic establishment and explained that even for the sake of a simple power of attorney it is necessary to make an appointment with the Russian consulate beforehand, wait for a month until the employees of the diplomatic institution check the data, and only afterwards, on a call, go to a meeting. The services cost about a thousand hryvnias, documents for confirming the ownership of the apartment do not need to be - only the passport and passport details of the person for whom the power of attorney is issued.

To remove the reception in a diplomatic institution, the immigrant was able to mobile camera. Obviously, this situation is not unique, because there was a man in the queue who was issuing a power of attorney for the sale of housing in Donetsk.

"Guided by Article 55 of this Convention, we should note that the consular officer in the country of accreditation must comply with the legislation of the host country - firstly. And the second is not to interfere in the internal affairs of the host country. This is categorically unacceptable. This once again confirms the presence of the RF in the temporarily occupied territories, "stressed the head of the consular services department Vasily Kirilich.

The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine warns that transactions concluded in the ATU zone on the basis of such documents will not be recognized by Ukrainian legislation. "Transactions concluded on the basis of this power of attorney in the territory of the ATU are of an unfinished nature. This makes it possible to assert that these documents are of an imaginary nature and they will in future be deprived of the right to legal document circulation on the territory of Ukraine, "said Nikolai Smuk, head of the department of control in the notary sphere of the department of state registration and notary..
