EU won’t recognize Russian passports issued to Ukrainians in occupied territories

This was reported by  “European Pravda” with reference to the statement of the EU’s High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell.

“New Russian legislation, which currently simplifies the procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship for all Ukrainians, is another gross violation of Ukrainian sovereignty linked to Russia’s illegal war,” Borrell noted.

He emphasized that the European Union will not recognize such passports and reminded the previous statement of Brussels in response to Putin’s decision to simplify the granting of citizenship to residents of the occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
