Zelensky re-submits bill on multiple citizenship
Kyiv • UNN
President Zelensky submitted a draft law on multiple citizenship to the Verkhovna Rada. The draft law defines the principles of citizenship and the grounds for its loss, including the acquisition of citizenship of the aggressor state.
The Verkhovna Rada has registered a bill on multiple citizenship initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This is reported on the parliament's website, UNN reports .
Details
As noted, the draft law is titled "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Ensuring the Realization of the Right to Acquire and Retain Ukrainian Citizenship.
It is noted that the law defines the principles of Ukrainian legislation on citizenship, in particular the principle of single citizenship, which is understood by the Law in two aspects:
- internal - citizenship of the state of Ukraine, which excludes the possibility of citizenship of administrative-territorial units of Ukraine,
- and external - the recognition of a citizen of Ukraine who has acquired citizenship (nationality) of another state or states, in legal relations with Ukraine only as a citizen of Ukraine
In addition to establishing the permissible cases of multiple citizenship, the draft law defines the grounds for losing Ukrainian citizenship. In particular, voluntary acquisition of the citizenship of the aggressor state.
Context
Earlier, Zelenskyy said that the draft law would allow ethnic Ukrainians and their descendants from countries other than Russia to obtain Ukrainian citizenship. This includes all those who were forced to leave their homeland during different waves of emigration and ended up in Europe, the United States, Canada, Asia, Latin America, and all those who help Ukraine despite being hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from their homeland.
