Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has announced the introduction of dual citizenship in the country. The second passport will be allowed in the EU countries.
"I am a consistent supporter of the introduction of dual citizenship in Ukraine. Currently, together with deputies we are working on relevant legislative initiatives," Dmytro Kuleba said during a briefing.
The only exception is the "aggressor country", Dmytro Kuleba noted. The diplomat means Russia, whose citizenship is prohibited. It is allowed to obtain a second citizenship in the EU countries, the Ukrainian foreign minister said.
Currently, the Ukrainian constitution allows citizens to have only one passport. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy enacted a decision of the National Defence and Security Council the previous day, which said that an inventory and analysis of the legislation on dual citizenship was needed.
