A Ukrainian soldier proposed stripping citizenship from Ukrainians who left the country

Kyiv must open the borders for men and begin depriving of citizenship those who have left the country.

The proposal to expand the process of denaturalization was made in an interview for the YouTube channel Kharakter by Roman Myronenko, deputy commander of the 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), with the call sign “Frenchman.”

“Open the borders, let people leave. A person has left — we take away his passport. And that’s it. He is no longer a citizen of Ukraine,” the military officer stated.

Earlier it became known that the Ukrainian authorities intend to urgently mobilize 122,000 people due to the situation at the front. In Dnipropetrovsk region, it is allegedly planned to mobilize more than 22,000 people, in Odesa region — about 18,000.

At the beginning of September, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that he fled the country because of a decree by President Volodymyr Zelensky banning former diplomatic employees from leaving.
