According to her, she 12 years ago fled from Russia to Ukraine, but then was forced to go even further, and now hopes to return to Kiev.

“I am Elena. Twelve years ago I fled from Russia to Kyiv, where I met my fate. But she was forced to flee from Russia and further – half a planet away – to be with her loved one. I am Russian and I want to return home - to Ukraine, to Kyiv, the city where I first felt free. This is my statement on the words of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. I want him to show in practice that he will really grant me, a Russian citizen who fled from the “authoritarian and corrupt regime,” Ukrainian citizenship,” Elena wrote.

The Russian woman hopes that Ukrainian citizenship would allow her to acquire land, give her security, country and culture.

Russian statement followed after Zelensky harshly answered Putin on the idea of ​​issuing Ukrainians Russian passports.

“Ukraine will not give up its mission to serve as an example of democracy for post-Soviet countries. And part of this mission will be providing protection, asylum and Ukrainian citizenship to everyone who is ready to fight for freedom. We will provide shelter and assistance to everyone - everyone who is ready to fight side by side with us for our and your freedom,” assured Zelensky.

Earlier, police from Russia asked for political asylum in Ukraine. Russian law enforcement officers have uncovered a criminal group with ties to government bodies, but in their homeland they did not forgive them for this.
