Supplement
In December last year, the parliament adopted in the first reading a draft law that provides for the introduction of the institution of multiple citizenship in Ukraine.
The draft law on multiple citizenship was to be considered in the second reading last week. It did not make it to the session hall of the parliament because the final version is not yet ready. Currently, it is being finalized, in particular, certain norms are being agreed upon. A source in the Verkhovna Rada noted that he hopes that the draft law will be finalized by June 17-18.
Vice Prime Minister, Minister of National Unity of Ukraine Oleksiy Chernyshov emphasized that the introduction of multiple citizenship does not pose a risk of mass departure of Ukrainians abroad. On the contrary, this law is a logical step in the context of working with the Ukrainian diaspora, as well as a response to demographic challenges. The government expects that thanks to reforms, economic development and post-war reconstruction of the country, Ukrainians will, on the contrary, return home.
