When a child born to Ukrainian parents is born in Germany, the parents can apply for Ukrainian citizenship for the newborn. To do this, they must submit an application to the consular section of the Ukrainian embassy or consulate abroad. The documents must be presented in person. Foreign language documents require certification by an “Apostille” stamp. They must be translated by a sworn translator authorized to translate into Ukrainian. Further information on the apostille can be obtained from the Regional Council of Tübingen:

According to Ukrainian law, children born in Ukraine or abroad after March 1, 2001, whose parents or one parent were Ukrainian citizens at the time of birth, are Ukrainian citizens from the day of their birth.
Under German law, a child born in Germany automatically acquires German citizenship only if at least one parent has German citizenship or has lived legally in Germany for eight years and holds an unlimited residence permit. If the child’s parents are not married, the child acquires German citizenship only if the father officially recognizes the child.
