      It says that there is a Russian law that forces Ukrainans to take on a Russian passport by threatening to deport or incarcerate them for not having a Russian passport! The paragraph describes exactly what you claimed, but for Russia, not Ukraine.

          As per the article you linked:

          Danilov suggested prosecuting Ukrainians who worked for the Moscow-appointed administration in Crimea, adding that some would face criminal charges and others would lose government pensions and be banned from public jobs.

          All Russian citizens who moved to Crimea after 2014 should be expelled, and all real estate deals made under Russian rule nullified, Danilov wrote on Facebook.

          His three-point plan:

          1. Remove all collaborateurs from office
          2. Prosecute some of them
          3. Kick out Russians that came in after the annexation

          Also, this was published on Facebook. Everyone knows how central Facebook is in relaying official Ukrainian positions. /s

          Where does it say that all Ukrainians with Russian passports are going to get kicked out of Ukraine? That’s right, nowhere. Your assumption is pure conjecture and wishfulness.

            As per the other articles, you know collaborators are picked just because.

            And you think from the hundreds of thousand of collaborators they will punish them mildly and selectivity?

            Yea but also per Ukrainian law you are not allowed to hold two citizensships. Hence you either dont have one or are a Russian for the Ukrainian goverment.

              Then they will have an excelent defense in court. There they can argue for their innocence. Russias treatment of suspected traitors has been quite different. You can try to make your case, but you can’t really argue with gravity while falling out of a window, now can you?

              And you think from the hundreds of thousand of collaborators they will punish them mildly and selectivity?

              Yes. Because Ukraine is striving to be a democracy and already is moreso than Russia ever was, because the eyes of the Western world in combination with the pressure that comes with being dependent on Western aid will keep Ukraine in line and because Ukrainians understand that their fellow countrymen were subjected to intense pressures by the Russian occupation.

              Yea but also per Ukrainian law you are not allowed to hold two citizensships. Hence you either dont have one or are a Russian for the Ukrainian goverment.

              And you think Ukraine wouldn’t allow its citizens to simply throw their forced Russian passport in the trash?
