- establishment of the fact of the person's military service under the contract in the russian federation;
- the entry into force of the guilty verdict of the court against persons, in particular, convicted in Ukraine for committing a crime against the foundations of national security of Ukraine, against the peace, security of humanity and international law and order;
- participation in armed aggression against Ukraine as part of the armed formations of the russian federation.

According to him, the largest checkpoint Yahodyn has restored its capacity at the level of 600 trucks per day.

We are evaluating the effectiveness of the decision at Nyzhankovychi - Malhowice, where registration in eCherha is temporarily suspended. While the checkpoint does not work at full capacity, but must pass 150 empty trucks per day, as was the case during the operation of eCherha. It is important that all checkpoints work at maximum capacity," Kubrakov noted.

Migration Service Head Naumenko believes that multiple citizenship does not contradict Constitution of Ukraine
(Ukrainian News, Martynova Ludmyla, 23.01.2024 16:28:00)
Head of the State Migration Service Natalia Naumenko believes that multiple citizenship initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not contradict the Constitution of Ukraine.
Naumenko said this on the air of the national telethon, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
She noted that many law experts believe that when implementing multiple citizenship, it is not necessary to amend Article 4 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which treats the issue of single citizenship.
"For our part, we were also interested in this issue and studied the transcript of the Verkhovna Rada at the time when the Constitution was adopted and what the legislator was putting into the issue of single citizenship. From our point of view, the issue of single citizenship included the inability to have citizenship, except for Ukrainian, within the framework of the administrative-territorial structure of Ukraine. What does it mean? That there can be no citizenship of the city of Kyiv, Luhansk Region, Donetsk Region or Crimea. Actually, this suggests that this is the single citizenship of Ukraine throughout Ukraine. But the fact that a person cannot have the citizenship of another state along with Ukrainian citizenship - this was not found in the transcripts when the Constitution was adopted," she said.
Naumenko noted that Zelenskyy’s initiative is aimed at attracting as much human capital as possible - Ukrainians to Ukraine, as well as financial capital.
She stressed that it is assumed that on the territory of Ukraine a citizen with multiple citizenship should use exclusively the passport of a citizen of Ukraine.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday, January 22, introduced a bill to the Verkhovna Rada on the introduction of multiple citizenship.
According to Zelenskyy, this will allow all ethnic Ukrainians and their descendants from different countries of the world, except for russian citizens, to have Ukrainian citizenship.
Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets predicts heated discussions on the constitutionality of Zelenskyy’s initiative on multiple citizenship.
According to Article 4 of the Constitution of Ukraine, there is a single citizenship in Ukraine, the grounds for the acquisition and termination of citizenship of Ukraine are determined by law.

MONITORING: UN to demand explanations from russia regarding fate of deported Ukrainian children
(Ukrainian News, Mazur Oleksandr, 23.01.2024 17:18:00)
The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child intends to find out the number of Ukrainian children deported to russia or the territories occupied by it, as well as whether their rights to preserve their identity are respected.
Voice of America has informed about this, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child - a group of 18 independent experts - will discuss the state of affairs in this matter within two days as part of a regular review.
"The committee intends to find out how many children were deported to Russia or Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, as well as what Moscow has done to protect the right of such children to preserve their identity, including citizenship, name and family relations," the publication reports.
It is noted that the UN Committee sent a list of questions to moscow in the first half of 2023.
So far, only about 400 children have been repatriated.
The written response of the russian side, which was demonstrated to the press on January 19, reports that the placement is carried out "at the request of the children and with their consent."
The response does not indicate the total number of such children, but it is noted that we are talking about "children from national residential institutions for orphans and children left without parental care (about 2,000 people in total)," as well as children with Ukrainian citizenship.
It was also reported that in the second quarter of 2023, about 46,886 Ukrainian children will receive russian citizenship.
The UN calls on moscow to answer the question of what it is doing to remove obstacles preventing children from exercising their right to freedom of association and assembly, and to ensure that children are not punished for participating in demonstrations, especially against the war in Ukraine.
In a report sent to the UN Committee, NGO Human Rights Watch said it was concerned about issues of ensuring children's freedom of expression, their right to freedom of information, and discrimination related to gender identity and sexual orientation.
The UN Committee intends to discuss illegal or arbitrary detention of children, corporal punishment applied to them, as well as measures taken to preserve the cultural and linguistic identity of indigenous children.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in December, the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories said that about 4,000 Ukrainian foster children were in the temporarily occupied territories and in russia.
In July, Grigory Karasin, chairman of the Committee on International Affairs of the Federation Council (upper house of the Federal Assembly of the russian federation), said that 700,000 Ukrainian children had been taken to russia in recent years.
On March 17, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for the arrest of russian dictator vladimir putin on charges of war crimes. He, as well as the Commissioner for the Rights of the Child, Maria Lvova-Belova, is accused of illegally deporting Ukrainian children.

Ihor Hrynkevych was charged with causing losses to the state budget of Ukraine amounting to nearly a billion hryvnias.
The State Bureau of Investigation did not immediately arrest the son of Lviv businessman Ihor Hrynkevych, Roman Hrynkevych, because it could not collect evidence of his guilt in time.

Raiffeisen Bank has restrictions on servicing companies in defense sector in accordance with policy of international group
(Ukrainian News, Zholobetskyi Serhii, 23.01.2024 14:13:00)
Raiffeisen Bank has restrictions on servicing companies in the defense sector in accordance with the policy of the international group.
Ukrainian News Agency was informed about this by the press service of the bank.
Previously, information was spread on social networks that the bank was sending out letters demanding disclosure of information on the execution of defense orders (including a requirement to provide data on end use), and also, in the same letter, a demand to stop such operations.
The bank informed Ukrainian News Agency that Raiffeisen Bank does not in any way require the client to stop activities related to the defense sector.
But according to the policy of the international group (Austria is a neutral country) and correspondent banks, it has certain restrictions on servicing companies in the defense sector and the production of dual-use products.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, all information about the client's activities and financial condition that became known to the bank in the process of servicing the client is a banking secret, the disclosure/transfer of which is carried out only in the cases and on the grounds determined by the legislation of Ukraine.
The Czech Centre Against Terrorism and Hybrid Threats has launched an investigation into Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI). The reason for this was the appeal of the Association for the Rights of Citizens and Entrepreneurs, who are dissatisfied with the fact that the subsidiary company of the group continues to work on the russian market.
In the spring of this year, the RBI outlined 2 exit options: the sale of russian assets or their withdrawal from the structure, that is, the actual recognition of losses. Later, the CEO of the Austrian group, Johann Strobl, announced that the deadline for the separation of the russian business, scheduled for September 30, has been postponed. According to Reuters, russian officials made it clear to the group that they would not want it to leave because Raiffeisenbank provides international payments.
Raiffeisen Bank plans to sell or separate of russian business.

In January, 9 cases of a new subvariant of the Omicron coronavirus strain - JN.1, which is called "Jenny", was registered in Ukraine.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health.
According to the Ministry of Health, three cases of the virus were detected in the Sumy Region, two cases each in the Volyn and Cherkasy Regions, and one each in the Rivne and Zaporizhzhia Regions.
The department notes that among the patients in Ukraine, only one out of nine people had two vaccinations against COVID-19. Age of patients - 27-73 years.
Based on the clinical symptoms, doctors recorded a moderate or mild course of the disease. One person was hospitalized.
According to Ihor Kuzin, the chief state sanitary doctor, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is constantly mutating, evading the immune response and more quickly affecting weakened immunity.
The WHO has said that the risk of JN.1 to the public is low and that the vaccines used around the world against COVID-19 protect against the new subvariant.
"Therefore, people who have not completed the course of vaccination against COVID-19 and persons at risk of a severe course of the disease should consult a family doctor and get vaccinated," Kuzin emphasizes.
It will be recalled that the head of the WHO stated that the world should prepare for future unknown diseases.
