A petition has appeared in the Office of the President regarding the verification of dual citizenship of Odesa Mayor Trukhanov
After information appeared in the media about the preparation of a decree at Bankova to strip Odesa Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov of Ukrainian citizenship, a petition with a similar proposal was posted on the website of the Office of the President.
The authors of the petition stated that «during journalistic investigations, information has repeatedly emerged about Trukhanov possessing a Russian passport and a Russian tax number, which indicates dual citizenship».
«We request a verification of the fact of dual citizenship and, if confirmed, to apply the measures provided by law. A person with citizenship of an aggressor state cannot hold an elected position in Ukraine», — the appeal reads.
It is worth noting that information about the possible deprivation of the mayor’s citizenship began to spread since yesterday, when Trukhanov himself reported it.
Today, several media outlets reported that the relevant documents have already been prepared at the Office of the President, and only the signature of the head of state is needed. However, other media outlets have refuted this information.
It should be noted that the appearance of a petition to strip Trukhanov of citizenship rather suggests that a final decision on this matter has not yet been made by Zelenskyy. Otherwise, there would be no need for Trukhanov’s opponents to launch an additional pressure mechanism in the form of a petition.
