The number of Russian passports issued to the Ukrainian Berkut troops

increases every day and no decision has yet been made on other

categories of people seeking Russian citizenship, Russian general consul

in Simferopol Vyacheslav Svetlichny said.

“This work [the issuance of Russian passports to the Berkut special

task force] is going according to plan. Several dozen passports have

been issued. Their number is increasing,” Svetlichny told Interfax on

Monday.
