Residents of the LPR, DPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson will receive Russian citizenship after the oath

This was announced by Pavel Krasheninnikov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation.

“Persons living in the new Russian territories, as well as those who previously lived in these territories, but left for Russia, acquire the citizenship of the Russian Federation as a result of recognition, subject to submission of an application and taking the oath of a citizen of the Russian Federation”, - Interfax quotes Krasheninnikov's words.

The deputy did not specify in what conditions the oath-taking should take place.

Those who receive citizenship of the Russian Federation can count on the payment of pensions, benefits, confirmation of work experience, documents on education, marital status, as well as social and medical assistance.

According to the plans of the Russian authorities, the military formations of the new subjects will be included in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and by June 1, 2023, permanent regional administrations will be formed in the new territories.
