The document has now been submitted to the relevant parliamentary committee.
"If the court proves that a person has committed a crime against the state, and the conviction has entered into force, the guilty person should be deprived of Ukrainian citizenship," said in an explanatory note.
It will be recalled that treason is punishable by 12 to 15 years in prison with or without confiscation of property. Treason in martial law is punishable by imprisonment for a term of 15 years or life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
