Pavlo Klimkin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stood for the idea of dual citizenship legitimization for the representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora, as Ukrainian radio reports.

“I would like to legitimize the dual citizenship for those Ukrainians and I gradually support this idea,” Klimkin stated.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs has outlined that Ukraine should implement new criteria, on which the dual citizenship could be issued.

“Surely, we should achieve this. We lose thousands and thousands of Ukrainians, who could work here and not only in state organizations, bureaucratic sphere, or in the business, but also create the contemporary Ukrainian culture,” Klimkin said.

The Foreign Minister specified that dual citizenship will allow involving foreign specialists for the work.

“So many good specialists can come from the other countries to help us in our reforming process. Look, even the situation with Ulyana Suprun (Ukraine's acting healthcare minister,- ed.) tells a lot to us. We should come to it but clearly determine who can apply for it,” Klimkin said.
