      To become a us citizen you have to renounce your other citizenships. So unless she later became a Ukraine citizen again, she no longer is.

      Edit: It appears I am wrong about this. I’ve heard it several times before though.

        When you become a naturalized citizen of the US you have to renounce your allegiance to other countries, but you don’t have to give up your other citizenship.

        Take a moment and reflect on this post. Is there anything else somebody told you and you repeat it without asking “is this true?”

          Yes, I’m clearly a horrible monster for believing something I’ve heard several places. No other person alive could ever have committed such atrocities, and I need a lecture from someone who has certainly never done something like this.

            lol reflection isn’t some punishment for murderers, its something everybody should do as a type of mental exercise. No need to be dramatic.

        I’m not sure you are wrong. I’ve seen a room full of people recite the oath of allegiance. I don’t know if it’s legally binding or not, but it absolutely looks like a renoucement to me.

        I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.
