: Dear Tatiana, I sincerely believe that you're a good US Immigration lawyer so, why not stick with something you're good in? Nobody would care if Australia permits duals or not - the question is whether UKRAINE does so. And, let me inform you - since I dare to hope that I know the Ukrainian side of the issue slightly better than you do - Ukraine does NOT. Other thing, of course, is poor law enforcement in Ukraine but we're talking "civilized" approach here, aren't we?.
If a person holds citizenship in one country (eg Australia) and wants to get citizenship from another country (eg Ukraine), the question of whether the person will be able to retain the first citizenship, (eg Australian) depends on the laws of the first country (eg Australia), not on the laws of the second country (eg Ukraine).
Losing citizenship in a given country depends entirely on the laws of that country.
