Ukraine Changes Law on Dual Citizenship
Today, the government estimates the population has fallen further to about 32 million, with a diaspora of roughly 25 million, according to Reuters.
...
Now in its its fourth year, the war has driven more than 5 million Ukrainians to Europe and claimed tens of thousands of lives.

Great news! Looks like Ukraine is finally preparing for elections, and want diaspora to decide the vote. But you might think, how can they make sure that only "proper" diaspora votes, after all, the largest Ukrainian diaspora with millions live in Russia. Don't worry there's a truly democratic solution to that

The Ukrainian government will come up with a list of countries whose citizens are eligible for dual citizenship with Ukraine.

I am sure that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, will see nothing wrong with such truly democratic elections Grin

I can't decide which quote is more appropriate here "All Animals Are Equal but Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others" or "It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes."

Waiting for paxmao to come with "democratic" explanation.

3...2....1...

I find so cute that all the sudden you care about Democracy that I am going to cry.

There is no explanation, there is a war. Stop the war, go back to Ruzzia, pay reparations, return the children and renounce to violence as a means of solving a conflict, they you will have deserved some explanation. While you consider bombing Ukranian cities as part of any solution, any "explanation" will be lost on you.

"There is no explanation...any "explanation" will be lost on you." those are mutually exclusive, so which one is it? It's not so much me caring about Democracy in Ukraine (lol) but just underlining the double standards and hypocrisy in the EU's selective application of rules and standards. They close their eyes on this but somehow we're supposed to believe what they have to say about elections in Belarus or Russia?
