This was reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In 2017 (as of August 01.08.2017, 7), 678 people received Ukrainian citizenship,” the report says.
It is also noted that over the past 2,5 years, from 2014 to the second quarter of 2017, 44 thousand 826 people received Ukrainian citizenship.
At the same time, during the same period, according to official statistics, 21 thousand 802 people lost their Ukrainian citizenship.
“Between 2014 and August 01.08.2017, 21, 802 people lost their Ukrainian citizenship,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
In 2017 alone, 2 people lost their Ukrainian citizenship.
At the same time, as PolitNavigator reported, according to Russian official sources, more than 200 thousand people became citizens of the Russian Federation after the start of the war. This discrepancy in statistics is due to the fact that the majority of those who purchased Russian passports in recent years ignored the requirement of Ukrainian legislation to undergo a complex procedure for renouncing citizenship and continue to be considered citizens of Ukraine.
