Zelensky's Decree Recognizing Russian Territories Angers Putin

Ukrainian President Zelensky signed a decree aimed at safeguarding the national identity of Ukrainians in Russia, listing several Russian regions as historically inhabited by Ukrainians. The decree includes plans to collect testimonies about crimes against ethnic Ukrainians, debunk Russian myths about Ukraine, and teach the true history of ethnic Ukrainians in Russian territories. Zelensky also proposed legislation granting dual Ukrainian citizenship to ethnic Ukrainians and their descendants worldwide, in response to Russia's efforts to grant Russian citizenship to foreign nationals and Ukrainian children in Russian-controlled territories.
