have been unable to obtain/renew personal documents since 2014 • Asylum-seekers, refugees, and migrants (and their children) residing in Ukraine who were stateless prior to leaving their countries of origin or have since become stateless due to displacement, discrimination, State succession, or deprivation of nationality […]” UNHCR, 2021 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Ukraine, 12 April 2022 “UNHCR estimated there were more than 35,000 stateless persons and persons with undetermined nationality in the country. Persons who were either stateless, at risk of statelessness, or with undetermined nationality included Roma, homeless persons, current and former prisoners, as well as nationals of the former USSR who resided in Ukraine in 1991 but never obtained an endorsement in their Soviet passport indicating they were citizens of Ukraine […]" Thomas Reuters Foundation News, Ukraine's stateless trapped in warzone with no proof they exist, 4 April 2022 “The United Nations estimates Ukraine is home to about 36,000 stateless people who live on the margins of society, deprived of basic rights and services. Some experts on statelessness said the real number was probably much higher. They include many like Honcharova who fell through the gaps following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and a significant proportion of Ukraine’s large ethnic minority Roma population. Others at risk of statelessness include people who have fled conflict in the eastern separatist Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as an estimated 60,000 children born in these territories and the Crimean peninsula seized by Russia in 2014. […] In 2014, the United Nations launched a campaign called #IBelong to end the plight of millions of stateless people worldwide within a decade. Last year, Ukraine introduced a procedure to identify and protect stateless people on its territory, and potentially provide them with a route to citizenship. But only 55 people have been recognised to date. Hundreds of other applications, including Honcharova’s, have been put on hold following the outbreak of war.” Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion, Challenges Facing Stateless People Displaced by the War in Ukraine, 31 March 2022 "In 2021, UNHCR estimated that 35,875 people were stateless or had ‘unknown nationality’ in Ukraine, but only 6,047 stateless people had a formalised legal residence status in the country. Moreover, this data does not account for the full picture of statelessness in the country – including an estimated 35,000 Roma who are stateless or at risk of statelessness. Other groups affected are: former citizens of the USSR who were unable to demonstrate permanent residence in Ukraine in 1991 and did not receive Ukrainian nationality; refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants already residing in the country who were already stateless in their countries of origin or due to displacement; and people living in non-Government controlled areas." European Network on Statelessness, Assisting stateless people trapped in Ukraine: report from the ground, 24 March 2022 "Approximately 10-20% of the estimated 400,000 Romani people living in Ukraine are stateless or at risk of statelessness. Additionally, 55% of children born in Donetsk and Luhansk and 88% of children born in Crimea were reported to lack Ukrainian birth certificates or personal documents, putting them at risk of statelessness." "individuals who previously held passports from the Former-USSR but lost them and are now undocumented. The majority of this group are elderly with no source of income, and many have longterm health conditions. Even before the war, they were reliant on NGOs for assistance, including for food and medicines. Since the invasion, this group of beneficiaries has become even more vulnerable. […] 62
