Answer 3

You would have to have been born in Ukraine or to Ukrainian citizens. Your father may be a Ukranian citizen, but it depends on when he left and so on. See the site below.

Answer 4

A Ukrainian citizen can come to the US and claim dual-citizenship in the US, as long as they never notify Ukraine.

However, it is NOT possible for a US citizen to obtain dual citizenship in Ukraine. One of the requirements of Ukrainian citizenship is that you must renounce any other citizenship.

Here is the section of the current law on obtaining Ukrainian citizenship, as of 1997:

--------------------------------------...

Article 16: Admission to the  citizenship of Ukraine.

Conditions for acquiring Ukrainian citizenship are:

(1) recognition of and compliance with the Constitution and laws of Ukraine;

(2) not holding foreign citizenship;

(3) continuous residence on legal grounds on the territory of Ukraine over the last five years.

This rule does not apply to persons who expressed a desire to become Ukrainian citizens provided that they were born or prove that at least one of their parents, grandfather, or grandmother was born on its territory.

(4) knowledge of Ukrainian language within the extent sufficient for communication;

(5) availability of legal sources of income

…

Upon expiration of the term set forth in Article 2 (3) of this law, people covered by this provision can receive Ukrainian citizenship by procedure established under Article 16, excluding requirements set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4.
