Three powerful and prominent Jews in Ukraine appear to have had their citizenship stripped as their long-simmering conflict with President Volodymyr Zelensky has reached a boiling point amid the war with Russia. Last week, Zelensky reportedly either revoked or took steps to revoke the Ukrainian citizenship of two of the country’s best known oligarchs, Igor Kolomoisky and Hennadiy Korban, as well as that of Vadim Rabinovich, a former tycoon turned opposition lawmaker.
The three men are among the wealthiest Jews in Ukraine, and the official reason for the move appears to be that they hold foreign citizenship — including in Israel. Dual citizenship is technically illegal in Ukraine but is widely tolerated in practice.
Several alternate theories are also circulating, including that Zelensky is purging oligarchs with checkered pasts in an effort to prove to the United States and other Western countries that Ukraine has no tolerance for corruption.

Two wagon drivers are travelling on the same road and meet up. Each has a Jewish passenger. The first, Valdimir, looks at the other driver's wagon and says "Ivan, I see you're giving a ride to that dirty Jew, Golderg."
Ivan is outraged. "How dare you insult my passenger? Just for that, I'm going to give your passenger, the dirty Jew Ginsberg, a thrashing." And he does, beating Ginsburg into a coma.
Now Vladimir is outraged. "How dare you attack my passenger? Just for that, I'm going to give your passenger an even bigger thrashing." And so he does, leaving Goldberg a bloody, broken mess.
When he's done, the two drivers spit at each other and continue on their way with their half-dead passengers.
Goldberg is the Jewish Agency in Russia. Ginsburg is the successful Jew in the Ukraine. Get it?
I wonder if they can still get Portuguese citizenship from Rav Litvak in Porto? If not they will just to pay Israeli taxes
