Overview

• The law ends Ukraine’s prohibition on multiple citizenship and allows nationals to hold foreign passports alongside Ukrainian ones.
• It simplifies naturalization for children born to Ukrainian parents overseas and for Ukrainians who acquire a second nationality through marriage.
• Foreign volunteers can now become Ukrainian citizens more easily by passing a test on Ukrainian language, history and the constitution.
• The government will compile a list of countries whose citizens are eligible for multiple citizenship and will exclude nationals of aggressor states and those that deny Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
• Officials say the reforms are designed to strengthen bonds with the diaspora and help reverse a population decline to about 32 million since Russia’s 2022 invasion.
