Ukraine Strips Odesa Mayor Trukhanov of Citizenship: Reasons for the Decision.

According to inkorr.com: The commission under the President of Ukraine has decided to strip Gennady Trukhanov, the mayor of Odesa, of his citizenship. This decision was based on information from the Security Service, which indicates that Trukhanov holds Russian citizenship and a valid passport of that country.

According to the Security Service, the current mayor of Odesa is a citizen of the Russian Federation and possesses a valid foreign passport from the aggressor country. The special service has copies of the relevant documents.

After the onset of Russia's aggression, Trukhanov obtained a Russian passport for a period of 10 years, which remains valid to this day.

Legal Aspects

In 2017, Trukhanov's lawyers attempted to revoke his Russian internal passport, but the court in the Moscow region noted that this does not mean the loss of Russian citizenship. Moreover, Trukhanov has an identification code in Russia, which is reflected in the tax service database.

Therefore, the decision to strip Gennady Trukhanov of his citizenship is a consequence of confirmed information regarding his Russian citizenship and possession of a passport. This also highlights the complexities that arise regarding citizenship issues between Ukraine and Russia.
