The article substantiates the need to change the legislation
regarding the improvement of the legislative provisions of the conditions for acceptance of Ukrainian
citizenship. Authors proposes an institutional mechanism for the implementation of legislative provisions on
testing knowledge of the Ukrainian language, the history of Ukraine, and the basics of the Constitution of
Ukraine. The modern practice of the conditions for acquiring citizenship in the countries of the European
Union and Ukraine has been worked out, and ways of improving the legislative regulation of the conditions
for acquiring the citizenship of Ukraine have been proposed based on the learned experience. Special
attention is paid to the mechanism of implementation by state institutions of testing knowledge of the
Ukrainian language, the history of Ukraine, and the basics of the Constitution of Ukraine.
The aim of the article is justification of the need to change the legislation regarding the
improvement of the legislative provisions of the conditions of acceptance to the citizenship of Ukraine,
determination of the institutional mechanism for the implementation of the legislative provisions
regarding the verification of the knowledge of the Ukrainian language, the history of Ukraine and the
foundations of the Constitution of Ukraine
When implementing the provisions of the Law of Ukraine «On Citizenship», the institutional
system of executors should be clearly recorded. It is the transparent and understandable institutional
mechanism for the implementation of citizenship legislation that will promote justice in the process of
acquiring Ukrainian citizenship through the naturalization procedure.
In connection with the failed aggression, annexation and occupation of the territory of Ukraine,
the issue of introducing simplified grounds for acquiring citizenship by persons who defended the
national interests of Ukraine and are citizens of other states or stateless persons remains relevant. For such
a category of persons, the principle of delayed passing of exams for learning the Ukrainian language,
history of Ukraine and the basics of the Constitution of Ukraine should be established. The term can be
set for up to three years, after which time Ukraine can deprive a person of citizenship due to nonfulfillment of obligations to pass exams.
The proposal to specify the level of proficiency in the state language is substantiated. The current
position does not correspond to reality. In Ukraine, the National Commission for State Language
Standards operates, which determines the standards of mastery of the state language. We are considering
two options for enshrining in the Law of Ukraine «On Citizenship of Ukraine». The first: «the level of
mastery of the state language for persons who intend to acquire Ukrainian citizenship is determined by
the National Commission for State Language Standards». The second: «proficiency in the state language
at the intermediate level of the first degree (B1)».
