Lubinets: Putin issued order to grant Ukrainian children Russian citizenship - this is one of genocide signs
According to Censor.NET, Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said this in a telegram.
"Yesterday, on January 4, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 11 "On Defining Certain Categories of Foreign Citizens and Stateless Persons Who Have the Right to Apply for Russian Citizenship", he wrote.
The decree states that orphans and children left without parental care who are citizens of Ukraine can obtain Russian citizenship by Putin's personal decision without taking into account all or some of the requirements of federal law.
An application for such citizenship can be submitted by the heads of Russian organizations in which a child is placed under their supervision.
At the same time, when filling out the application form, there is no information about the applicant's place of residence or contact details, but only the address and contacts at the applicant's place of work, which may disappear at any time.
"I believe that the granting of Russian citizenship to children is being done to ensure that deported Ukrainian children do not 'legally' remain on their territory. This means that Russian citizens can apply for citizenship for deported Ukrainian children who are currently in Russian institutions or in Russian families under guardianship, and Putin will grant them without any requirements," Lubinets said.
The ombudsman noted that he understands the dire consequences of such actions, as the next step after they receive Russian "citizenship" will be the adoption of children as Russians, and then the change of their personal data.
"At some point, it may happen that not a single Ukrainian child will remain in the Russian Federation, because all of them may become Russians within the next 3 months. As the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, I will take all necessary measures to respond both domestically and internationally. After all, the transfer of children from one national group to another, which is certainly the granting of forced citizenship to children, is one of the signs of genocide," summarized the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.
