It's sad that people in occupied regions of Ukraine are punished twice, by Russian government and by US government too.

Not for long now. Just look at the large military successes Ukraine has achieved in the last few weeks.

I’ve seen videos where captured Russian soldiers are actually conscripts from the contested regions. I would think they have a lot more to worry about than okta authentication.

  Yes, so these people will be more isolated and in information bubble of RU. They can't get messages from others to stay out of the streets/work where RU army grabs them and sends them as cannon fodder. From the videos I saw they are just pure cannon fodder for UA artillery positions identification.

  Depending on the region, this may not be a problem. I (casually) saw that the Russian approval is big (>50%) in the eastern regions, so these conscripts may still be "the good ones" for the population of this region.

They had plenty of time to move to whatever they prefer - unoccupied territories of Ukraine or legitimate territories of Russia. As far as I know they traveled both ways routinely but returned voluntarily every time.

  > As far as I know they traveled both ways routinely but returned voluntarily every time. That's of course per-24-feb open russian invasion of those regions. There's been some people such as visiting their elder relatives during winter holidays and now stuck there. I wouldn't say for removing ocuppied regions of Ukraine from the list but instead adding aggressor to it.

  People are attached to places they grew up, it's their home. Also poor people don't have much mobility. I remember when the war just started and one of the first shocking videos was of a mother with two sons and a dog shelled basically live stream on CNN. The father went at that time to DNR to help his sick mother. He did it out of his choice but he probably wasn't a separatist.
