President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced his desire to increase the prestige of Ukrainian citizenship in the international arena.
He made the corresponding statement during his speech at the forum “Ukraine 30. International Politics” on Monday.
“My position as the President of Ukraine is very simple: every citizen of Ukraine who is outside our state should feel support and feel protected. Our common ambitious goal is the high prestige of Ukrainian citizenship and Ukrainian passport in the world. The prestige of a Ukrainian passport is confidence in your state when you find yourself in a difficult situation abroad,” Zelensky said.
He also said that in the event of such a situation, the state apparatus must act quickly and clearly, in order to promptly provide assistance to its citizens in other countries.
“The prestige of a Ukrainian passport is also an opportunity to travel freely around the world,” Zelensky said.
In addition, the president pointed out the need to maintain and develop ties between the state apparatus in Ukraine and the Ukrainian diasporas in different countries.
“The Ukrainian community in the world is always visible, heard, and this is wonderful,” Zelensky said.
