In recent years, the issue of Ukrainian citizenship has become increasingly relevant. In December 2024, the Verkhovna Rada supported in the first reading a bill that allows Ukrainians to have multiple citizenship. This means that foreigners, including members of the Armed Forces, will be able to obtain Ukrainian passports under a simplified procedure, and Ukrainians will be able to retain their citizenship even if they obtain another.

But how many foreigners have obtained Ukrainian citizenship in recent years? Let's look at the main trends.

Do you want to obtain Ukrainian citizenship but don't know where to start? The procedure for obtaining citizenship can be complicated and requires careful preparation of documents. Entrust this matter to professional lawyers who will help you go through all the stages of registration quickly and without unnecessary hassle.

Who received Ukrainian citizenship?

Most often, citizenship was granted by birthright. Over the past six years, this ground has remained the main one:

📌 2019 - 15,563 people

📌 2020 - 10,681 persons

📌 2021 - 11,982 persons

📌 2022 - 8,461 people

📌 2023 - 9,294 people

📌 2024 - 6,785 persons

Citizenship of Ukraine can also be obtained by territorial origin - if the applicant or his/her relatives were born on Ukrainian lands. This ground has become less popular in recent years:

📌 2019 - 3,500 people

📌 2020 - 2,671 persons

📌 2021 - 2,615 people

📌 2022 - 1,193 people

📌 2023 - 1,309 people

📌 2024 - 1,098 persons

📌 2021 - 40 persons

📌 2022 - 219 people

Citizenship for children and deprivation of passport

If a foreign child is taken under the care of a Ukrainian citizen, he or she can also obtain citizenship:

📌 2019 - 717 children

📌 2020 - 539 children

📌 2021 - 495 children

📌 2022 - 336 children

📌 2023 - 410 children

At the same time, there are cases of deprivation of citizenship, especially after the start of the full-scale invasion. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made such decisions in relation to people who had other passports (including Russian ones) or were suspected of treason.

📌 2019 - 24 people

📌 2020 - 19 people

📌 2021 - 5 persons

📌 2022 - 16 people

📌 2023 - 14 people
