Does the Primate of the UOC-MP Onufriy need to prepare for sanctions? A lawyer calculated the next steps of the authorities.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed the possibility of imposing sanctions against Metropolitan Onufriy due to the loss of citizenship. A lawyer explained that this could precede the introduction of sanctions against the individual. If the metropolitan loses Ukrainian citizenship, he may become stateless, which is a complex situation in Ukrainian law, as the Constitution does not allow for the deprivation of citizenship.

The application of sanctions can have serious consequences both in domestic politics and in international relations, indicating the complexity of the legal situation in the country.
