Ukrainians with dual citizenship will not be released from the country:

The legislation forbids Ukrainians to have multiple citizenship, says the spokesman of the State Border Guard Service Andriy Demchenko. However, if such documents have a person, it is considered only as a citizen of Ukraine. Such norms have always been in force and have not changed since June 1. Information that Ukrainians with dual citizenship would not be released from the country are not true, because Kiev has never allowed citizens to have several passports.

The focus gathered everything that is known about it. On the website of the US Embassy in Ukraine it was written that during the stay in Ukraine, US-Ukrainian double citizens are considered exclusively as citizens of Ukraine. Accordingly, only Ukrainian rights and responsibilities apply to them. This innovation allegedly started operating on June 1 this year. "According to the martial law of Ukraine, men aged 18 to 60 are forbidden to leave the country.

Earlier citizens of this group who have dual citizenship of the United States and Ukraine could enter Ukraine and then leave it if they were removed from their Ukrainian Place of residence and registered their American place of residence, " - said in a message on the website of the embassy. Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsaplienko in his Telegram-channel reported that he had addressed the statement of the US Embassy to the State Border Service.

The spokesman Andriy Demchenko stated that this material is a manipulation, because Ukraine never recognized double citizenship, and those who tried to provide documents of another country at the border, while having Ukrainian, were held accountable. "The wording that now applies to various resources that Ukrainians with dual citizenship will not be released from the country, to put it mildly, it is incorrect. Once again I can point out that in Ukraine it is forbidden to have dual citizenship.

Even if citizens of Ukraine have a passport of another country, They are first considered as citizens of Ukraine, and they are subject to the rights and responsibilities of Ukrainian citizens. At the same time, a representative of the SSSU continues, it is not necessary to confuse people with foreign passports and those citizens of Ukraine who live outside the country for a long time and have a special mark about it in their documents.
