Euromaidan Press -verkkolehden artikkelissa todetaan, että Ukrainassa ei ole tällä hetkellä olemassa mekanismia sen selvittämiseksi, onko henkilöllä ulkomaan kansalaisuutta.” • TRANSLATION [by Asylos Volunteer]: “According to the Ukrainian Immigration Bureau website, a child born to a foreign citizen and entitled to Ukrainian citizenship from the moment of birth under the Citizenship Law must apply for citizenship separately through a confirmation procedure, which usually takes 4-6 months.” ORIGINAL: “Ukrainian Immigration Bureau -sivustolla todetaan, että ulkomaan kansalaisille syntyneen ja kansalaisuuslain mukaisesti syntymähetkestä alkaen Ukrainan kansalaisuuteen oikeutetun lapsen tulee hakea kansalaisuutta erikseen vahvistusmenettelyssä, joka kestää yleensä 4–6 kuukautta.” • TRANSLATION [by Asylos Volunteer]: “the US State Department's Human Rights Report on Ukraine states that birth in the country or to Ukrainian citizens is tantamount to acquiring citizenship. A child born to a stateless person permanently resident in the country is also a Ukrainian citizen.” ORIGINAL: “Esimerkiksi Yhdysvaltain ulkoministeriön Ukrainaa käsittelevässä ihmisoikeusraportissa todetaan, että maassa tai Ukrainan kansalaisille syntyminen tarkoittaa kansalaisuuden saamista. Myös pysyvästi maassa asuville kansalaisuudettomille henkilöille syntynyt lapsi on Ukrainan kansalainen.” Association for Legal Intervention, We present our comments to the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance, 22 June 2022 "However, not all refugees from Ukraine can benefit from the same support as Ukrainian citizens. Foreigners who have lived in Ukraine, but do not have Ukrainian citizenship, may benefit from temporary protection in Poland, but on different – in principle worse – rules than citizens of Ukraine. The abovementioned different treatment of foreigners fleeing Ukraine depending on their country of origin and the humanitarian crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border, lasting since August 2021, clearly shows the discriminatory approach of the Polish authorities: foreigners from neighbouring countries are encouraged to migrate to Poland and supported upon arrival, during when foreigners from further geographically, culturally and religiously countries are treated worse or not admitted to Poland at all, despite clear international obligations in this regard." UNHCR – UN High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR Position on Returns to Ukraine, March 2022 “Refugees and Asylum-Seekers (Other Nationalities) […] People of nationalities other than Ukrainian may also choose, or be compelled, to leave Ukraine as a result of developments related to the conflict, and should be allowed to do so. Some of these persons may have been recognized as refugees, granted complementary protection or registered as asylumseekers in Ukraine. Afghan and Syrian nationals are among the largest groups of asylum-seekers and refugees in Ukraine, along with nationals of the Russian Federation and other countries. Ukraine has been and remains a country hosting refugees and people otherwise in need of international protection. If travelling onwards in search of safety, these persons should be referred to national asylum procedures for consideration of their applications for international protection. In addition, there may be foreignnationals or stateless persons who resided in Ukraine and who had not (yet) applied for international protection in Ukraine before they were compelled to leave the country due to the current circumstances. UNHCR recommends that these persons be referred to the national asylum procedure in the country 79
