“All these people must necessarily remain with only one citizenship, Russian, and live in the corresponding state,” RIA Novosti quotes the Ukrainian leader.
On January 10, Zelensky stripped Ukrainian citizenship of opposition politician Viktor Medvedchuk and three other deputies - Taras Kozak, Renat Kuzmin and Andriy Derkach.
Prior to this, the Ukrainian president suspended the citizenship of 13 priests of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC).
In September, Zelensky stripped ten people of Ukrainian citizenship, including five children.
