“We have selected several premises in a number of cities in the Zaporozhye region.

These are Berdyansk, Energodar, and other settlements in which passport centers will be opened in the near future so that residents of other districts, except for Melitopol, do not need to travel to Melitopol, but they can directly come to their place of residence and apply for Russian citizenship," TASS quoted him as saying.

As Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the region, noted earlier, about 80% of the population of the Zaporozhye region want to unite with the Russian Federation.

On May 31, the head of the military-civilian administration of Melitopol, Galina Danilchenko, announced plans to open additional centers for obtaining Russian citizenship in Melitopol.

According to her, there are “a lot of people” who want to apply.
