This, as RIA Novosti reports, said the head of the lower house committee of the parliament for CIS affairs, Eurasian integration and compatriots Leonid Kalashnikov.
“A bill will be introduced before December, which will be a revolutionary in the field of citizenship,” he said.
As the parliamentarian pointed out, it was possible to achieve "for the Lugansk and Donetsk regions not to require them to renounce Ukrainian citizenship upon entry" into the Russian one.
“Then I asked the president that this is unfair to other citizens, for example, in Argentina, Germany, when they wanted to obtain our citizenship, but they must renounce theirs,” he added.
According to the deputy, a bill will be submitted to the State Duma that will repeal this norm.
“Now, not only for Donetsk and Lugansk, not only for Ukraine, such a refusal will not be required,” Kalashnikov explained.
At the same time, he clarified that the project will be introduced by the Cabinet.
Earlier it became known that the Ministry of the Interior was developing a bill on a simplified procedure for citizens who have graduated from Russian universities to obtain Russian citizenship.
In mid-July, Russian President Vladimir Putin expanded the number of Ukrainian citizens who can obtain Russian citizenship in a simplified manner.
