Belarusians Fighting In Armed Forces Of Ukraine Will Have Their Temporary Residence Permits Extended

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has amended the decision on citizenship.

The Cabinet of Ministers has provided an opportunity to extend the validity of a temporary Ukrainian citizen's certificate for Russians and Belarusians. This applies to people who are fighting for Ukraine.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with a reference to the government representative in the Verkhovna Rada Taras Melnychuk.

According to him, this opportunity is provided for the purpose of implementing the law “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Legal Status of Foreigners and Stateless Persons Participating in the Defense of the Territorial Integrity and Inviolability of Ukraine”.

The resolution applies to citizens of Russia and Belarus who acquired Ukrainian citizenship from February 24, 2020 and submitted an obligation to terminate their foreign citizenship within two years, but the deadline for fulfilling the obligation has expired.

A mark on the extension of the validity period will be put in the temporary certificate of a citizen of Ukraine for persons who take part in the protection of the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine.

This can be done by the State Migration Service, diplomatic missions and consulates.
