Gennady Korban denied information about Israeli citizenship and turned to the head of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov.
“On the pro-Russian TG channels banned by the SBU, they began to disperse my Israeli passport. If I was deprived of citizenship on the basis of a Russian fake, I would like to receive an official explanation from the Ukrainian State Migration Service on this matter. I emphasize: there is still no official basis for depriving me of citizenship,” Korban wrote on his Facebook page..
Also, Gennady Korban appealed to the NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov in connection with the latter's call to politicians to admit that they have a second citizenship.

“Since I am not a politician, I am not in the civil service and I do not sit in the Rada, I am sure that this verbal passage was directed not in my direction.

“Dear Alexey Myacheslavovich, please explain to the society whom you meant by “politicians” and “traitors”?
Do you consider millions of our fellow citizens with citizenship of Poland/Hungary/Romania/Israel/Canada as traitors
And, perhaps, according to your logic, they all need to be released from military duty and forcibly expelled from the country?
If this is not the case, and you meant representatives of our political establishment, then are you ready to cooperate with me publicly on this issue
I promise you that I can make every effort to identify the largest possible number of people who have a second passport? And even in your environment.
Please, let's work out the interaction in this matter, so that you, as one of the highest officials of the country, can prepare draft secret decrees on depriving them of Ukrainian citizenship?
Next, explain to the public, please, what we will do not with “politicians”, but, for example, with their family members or closest friends, if they also have a second passport?
Dear Alexey Myacheslavovich, please understand me correctly, I do not want to provoke you in any way, but I simply think that a leader of such a rank is obliged to make not lengthy statements about anything, but to give clear explanations.
Only in this case, we will avoid double standards and stop living on the principle of “friends - everything, enemies - the law”, as it was established under Yanukovych, from arbitrariness, which, like me, by the way, also suffered,” Korban said..
