Moscow begins granting Russian citizenship to citizens of Kherson

Russia will open facilities for people wishing to obtain Russian citizenship in areas of the Kherson, according to Bloomberg.

The first will appear in Novaya Kakhovka and the surrounding area, Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the region’s military and civilian administration, told TASS on Saturday.

Stremousov recently told Reuters that the fighting could affect the timing of Kherson’s formal proposal to join Russia and that such a decision was likely to be taken “next year”.

Asked about Russia’s accession timetable, he said: “It will not happen until the autumn. “We are preparing an administrative system and then next year we will see how the situation will be.”
