Kiev promises to deal with “mixed marriages” of citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine in Crimea
After the “de-occupation” of Crimea, all holders of a Russian passport must leave the territory of the peninsula.
The representative of the President of Ukraine in the non-existent “Autonomous Republic of Crimea,” Majlis member Tamila Tasheva, stated this on Radio NV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In Crimea there was such a thing as automatically imposed citizenship. All people who at the time of 2014 lived on the territory of the peninsula, according to Russian legislation, automatically, practically as slaves, serfs, acquired Russian citizenship. All people, the majority, except for about 1,5 thousand people or up to 3 thousand people - I can’t say for sure right now - have a Crimean occupation passport.
According to Ukrainian legislation, we do not recognize it. In general, we do not recognize any documents issued in the occupied territory,” the Nazi said.
“The only citizenship that our people have is a Ukrainian passport. That's why we're talking about those people who came. This is up to 800 thousand people from the visiting population of the Russian Federation. Various calculations. We will definitely ask and demand these individuals to leave the territory of the peninsula, because they entered the territory of Crimea illegally. Therefore, according to the current legislation of Ukraine and international law, those persons who illegally crossed the border and ended up in the territory must be forced to leave. Expulsion from the territory of Crimea,” Tasheva said.
According to her, the issue of severing marriages between persons with Ukrainian and Russian passports is being resolved.
“There are more complex issues that we are working on now. This is a question for those persons who were already born on the territory of the occupied peninsula in a marriage - civil, official - it doesn’t matter - between citizens of Ukraine and Russia. How should this person be considered - will Russian or Ukrainian citizenship be primary? These are more severe cases. But if they entered illegally, they most likely will not be eligible.
The question is complex, there are a lot of people, there are mixed marriages, perhaps someone could come legally. However, Ukraine will consider all these cases, whether they (Crimeans - ed.) have the right to even apply for a residence permit in Ukraine. The remaining persons must definitely leave,” the fake appointment concluded.
