In Crimea, the Federal Migration Service announced about receiving applications from local residents considering their unwillingness to hold citizenship of Ukraine. E-Krym informs about that.
Human rights activists note that the FSB of Russia works through the FMS in Crimea.
“The FSB works through the FMS of the Russian Federation. They try to collect lists of loyal and disloyal citizens again. Such announcements are at the entrances to the migration service along the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. As a reminder, the FMS has no authorities related to termination/renunciation from citizenship of Ukraine. Ukrainian bodies of power have this exceptional right and only in accordance with the procedure set forth in the law,” the human rights activists consider.
