Overview

• Zelensky announced he had signed a decree targeting individuals confirmed to hold Russian citizenship without naming those affected.
• Law enforcement told the Kyiv Independent that Ukrainian citizenship was revoked for Hennadii Trukhanov, ballet dancer Serhii Polunin, and former politician Oleg Tsaryov.
• Trukhanov said he will challenge the decision in court, and the step would effectively remove him from the mayor’s post under Ukrainian law.
• A petition urging the president to strip Trukhanov of citizenship gathered the required 25,000 signatures in under 24 hours, while Trukhanov has repeatedly denied having a Russian passport.
• Polunin and Tsaryov live in Russia and have publicly supported Moscow’s war, and the presidency has not published an official list of names despite the decree’s signing.
