According to Shkhagoshev, this is not just a decree that simplifies the procedure for obtaining citizenship.

“This is the position, the position of the country in relation to ordinary citizens of Ukraine,” the parliamentarian noted.

In his opinion, this decision confirms the intentions that Russia has been declaring for eight years.

“That is, the Russians will be protected, wherever they are,” concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier it was reported that Vladimir Putin has simplified the acquisition of Russian citizenship for all residents of Ukraine, LPR and DPR.
