“I think this sounds somewhat provocative ... From a practical point of view, it is not very clear how this will be applied, since we have no such responsibility under the law of prosecution for political reasons,” Morozov said.

According to the deputy, this useless step is politicized.

Earlier Zelensky signed a decree that expanded the list of persons entitled to citizenship of Ukraine, including Russian citizens who were “persecuted for political convictions”.

The corresponding bill was entrusted to the development of the government.
