My friend, who is under occupation, has a problem - he lost his ID passport and he is a minor, and he can leave only through the occupied Crimea and Russia. Can he, on the basis of his birth certificate, cross the borders from the Russian Federation to the EU and then to Ukraine and leave the occupation in general?
How to leave the occupation without a passport?

In accordance with the Resolution of the CMU "On Approval of the Rules for Crossing the State Border by Citizens of Ukraine", citizens of Ukraine cross the state border at checkpoints across the state border and control points, unless otherwise provided by law, under one of the following documents giving the right to departure from Ukraine and entry into Ukraine:
-
passport of a citizen of Ukraine for travel abroad;
-
diplomatic passport;
-
service passport;
-
child's travel document (valid for the period for which it was issued);
-
seafarer's identity card;
-
ID card of a crew member.
In the event that a citizen who permanently resides in Ukraine has lost the specified documents outside of Ukraine, or if the term of validity of such documents has expired during the citizen's stay outside of Ukraine, or it is established that they are invalid for other reasons, a document that gives the right to "traveling to Ukraine", is an identity card for returning to Ukraine, which is issued by a diplomatic mission or consular institution of Ukraine abroad.
Therefore, your friend can present one of the above-mentioned documents at the border.
