The government of North Macedonia has approved the decision to revoke the Macedonian citizenship of the Ukrainian oligarch, Oleksandr Onyshchenko.

He was granted Macedonian citizenship on May 31, 2021, based on his "clean record", at the proposal of the Equestrian Sports Federation, while the Agency for Youth and Sports, the Macedonian Olympic Committee and the National Security Agency (ANB) gave a positive opinion ).

But the granting of Macedonian citizenship caused many reactions, since Onyshchenko is a fugitive from justice in Ukraine and is sanctioned by the United States.

Onyshchenko, who made his fortune from the gas business, has been on the run since 2016 after being investigated in Ukraine for corruption and money laundering.

He was put on the US sanctions list in 2021, because he was part of a Russian network that interfered in the US elections.
