President Volodymyr Zelenskiy thanked Ukrainians abroad on Monday for their support during Russia’s invasion, and proposed changing the constitution to
allow dual citizenship.
Ukraine’s constitution does not give Ukrainian citizens the right to dual citizenship, so millions of people of Ukrainian origin who live abroad are unable to hold Ukrainian passports.
In what appeared a symbolic gesture on Ukraine’s Unity Day, marking the anniversary of the unification of eastern and western Ukraine in 1919, Zelenskiy said he was submitting draft legislation to parliament that would allow dual citizenship.
