Residents who get Russian passports should be deprived of Ukrainian citizenship

Ukrainian Deputy Minister for Temporary Occupied Yuriy Hrymchak says residents of Donbas who receive Russian passports, should be deprived of Ukrainian citizenship, ONA reports citing UNIAN.

 "The Constitution of Ukraine says that a Ukrainian should have only one citizenship – the citizenship of Ukraine. Therefore, those people who will receive or are receiving the citizenship of the Russian Federation may lose their Ukrainian citizenship. I think that this will have to be done – to cancel [their] internal passports of Ukraine, as well as foreign passports," the Deputy Minister stated.
