Dual Citizenship
Ukrainian law currently does not recognise dual citizenship. However there are citizens of Ukraine who hold dual citizenship. Various estimates put the number of Ukrainians with more than one passport from 300,000 to a few million. Within Ukrainian boundaries Ukrainian citizens who also hold multiple citizenships are considered to be solely Ukrainian citizens.

“Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
