This was reported today, February 4, on the website of the Center for National Resistance.
This practice was introduced into Russian legislation and is aimed exclusively at the assimilation of Ukrainians into the WTO. As for citizens of other countries, there is no such practice, the CNS notes.
It is noted that such statements have two purposes:
- is a means of propaganda;
- is a method of psychological pressure.
The forced acquisition of Russian citizenship by Ukrainian citizens living in temporarily occupied territories is not recognized by Ukraine and is not a basis for the loss of Ukrainian citizenship. Such practices of the Russian occupation administrations are legally null and void,” the CNS notes.
