Today, Permanent Representative Olha Kuryshko participated in a meeting of the Coordination Centre for the Management of the Regions Where Military Operations Are Ongoing or Have Taken Place, as Well as the Territories That Have Been Temporarily Occupied, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine—Minister for Communities and Territories Development, Oleksii Kuleba.

The meeting focused on the regulatory framework for the reintegration of temporarily occupied territories and the transitional period.

During her speech, Olha Kuryshko highlighted the Mission’s ongoing efforts, particularly its active work on implementing mechanisms for restoring state governance after de-occupation. She emphasized the importance of establishing military administrations, as outlined in Draft Law No. 11064, which proposes amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On the Legal Regime of Martial Law” regarding the specificities of restoring public authority in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. The draft law was developed by the Mission in cooperation with other government bodies and experts. Additionally, she underscored the need for a systematic approach to supporting citizens who remain in the temporarily occupied territories.

The Permanent Representative also emphasized the Mission’s readiness to actively participate in developing solutions aimed at returning liberated territories to Ukraine’s constitutional order and ensuring effective state governance. She also highlighted the importance of informational efforts to counter Russian propaganda and advance the cognitive de-occupation of the peninsula.
