applicant is under criminal investigation in Ukraine or when
condemned by a court of law and the sentence is to be carried out. The
date of termination of the Ukrainian citizenship will be the date of a
pertinent edict signed by the President of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian citizenship is lost:
1) if a citizen of Ukraine, after coming of age, has voluntarily
acquired the citizenship of another state. Voluntary acquisition of

citizenship of another state is considered to be all cases when a citizen
of Ukraine, by his/her free expression of will, expressed in the form of
a written request, has acquired the citizenship of another state or if
he/she voluntarily has received a document attesting to his/her foreign

citizenship, except when: a) children simultaneously become citizens
of Ukraine and of another country at birth; b) children being citizens
of Ukraine and adopted by a foreigner will acquire the adoptive

parent's citizenship; c) a citizen of Ukraine automatically acquires
foreign citizenship after marrying a foreigner; d) foreign citizenship is
granted a Ukrainian citizen automatically under the laws of a given

country, without that citizen's declaration of intention, and that citizen
does not voluntarily obtain a document attesting to foreign citizenship;
2) if a foreigner acquires the Ukrainian citizenship without

submitting a document attesting to the termination of foreign
citizenship or a declaration relinquishing foreign citizenship;
3) if a foreigner receives the Ukrainian citizenship and exercises
rights or obligations provided for by his/her foreign citizenship;

4) if a person is granted the Ukrainian citizenship after
submitting consciously distorted information or forged documents;
5) if a citizen of Ukraine voluntarily enlists in a foreign army, is

employed by a foreign secret police, law enforcement, judiciary
authority or central or local government without the Ukrainian
authorities' prior consent.
A citizen of Ukraine applying for termination of citizenship or

being stripped of citizenship will enjoy all rights and carry out all
obligations as a citizen of Ukraine until his/her citizenship is officially
terminated.

A decision about granting the Ukrainian citizenship will be
annulled if the person granted citizenship is found to have resorted to
fraud, submitting consciously distorted information or forged
