“The outgoing team Poroshenko does the last dirty tricks to his people and the country itself. Recent decrees and decisions, including by language, lead to splitting Ukraine even stronger and making life worse. The statement of the minister just lays down in this line those inadequate actions that the team of the outgoing president performs, ”said the deputy.

According to Vodolatsky, for Ukrainian citizens, especially for residents of the south-east of the country, a Ukrainian passport is not something important.

Earlier, Grymchak proposed to deprive the Ukrainian citizenship of those residents of Donbass who want to get Russian passports.

On April 24, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which residents of certain regions of Donbass will be able to receive Russian passports under a simplified scheme.
