Ukraine has expanded the list of unrecognized Russian passports

Departments of the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation for the issuance of passports in the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region are added to the list.

The Cabinet of Ministers has expanded the list of Russian passports, which are not recognized by the Ukrainian authorities. This measure mainly affects residents of annexed Crimea and the temporarily uncontrolled part of Donbass. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with a reference to the corresponding government decision on Wednesday, November 25.

It is stated that Russian passports issued by the bodies of the migration service of the Russian Federation in Novoshakhtinsk and Pokrovsky of the Rostov region were not previously recognized. It is in these bodies that residents of the occupied Donbass receive Russian passports.

Now, documents issued in other settlements in the Rostov region will not be recognized: Donetsk, Krasny Sulin, Matveev Kurgan, Shakhty and Rodiono-Nesvetayskaya.

Also, foreign passports issued in the Krasnodar Territory will not be recognized. Here the documents are written mainly by Crimeans.

It was previously reported that residents of the temporarily occupied Donbass and annexed Crimea, who received a Russian passport, will not be deprived of Ukrainian citizenship.

The Foreign Ministry also justified the receipt of passports of the Russian Federation by the inhabitants of Crimea, as citizens of Ukraine on the peninsula were deprived of the right to choose.
