The draft law on criminal liability for obtaining a Russian passport was approved at the government meeting. Ukrainian civil servants can receive up to 15 years of registration of will.
According to her, the essence of the project is as follows:
- 1. If a civil servant has received an enemy passport, a will is issued for a period of 10 to 15 years.
- 2. Propaganda of enemy citizenship shall be subject to imprisonment for a period of 5 to 8 years.
- 3. Forcing citizens of Ukraine to obtain a Russian passport entails approval of their will for a period of 8 to 12 years.
- 4. From 8 to 12 years of registration of will for creating conditions, the detention of which will repeatedly reduce the rights of a citizen of Ukraine or put him in a disadvantageous position. That is, we are talking about indirect coercion.
“These innovations are directed against civil servants with hostile passports and against those who are directly or indirectly involved in the complications of Russian passporting. Other persons are not accepted by this project,” she added.
In other words, the norms of the new law are primarily aimed at punishing the organizers of hostile passporting and their accomplices. Among them, Russian citizens who engaged in illegal passporting on the territory of Ukraine are subject to punishment.
