The Government of Ukraine has decided to rename the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories to the Ministry of National Unity of Ukraine. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
“From the first day of the Russian invasion, unity has been our main weapon. Unity within the country, unity with our partners, unity of Ukrainians around the world,” Shmyhal said in his Telegram.
The Prime Minister reminded that the Verkhovna Rada had appointed Oleksiy Chernyshev to the post of Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of National Unity. According to Shmyhal, this institutional strengthening will contribute to the formation of a new quality of work and interaction with the Ukrainian community around the world, including migrants.
Shmyhal also added that the creation of the Ministry of National Unity will help develop a strategy for the return of Ukrainians to the country. Chernyshov will soon present the ministry’s development plan, team and main goals.
