. First and foremost, it is a signal to both Ukrainians and our partners that Ukraine is not ready to work on regaining control over the currently occupied territories, protecting people affected by Russian aggression and restoring justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Peace Formula you have proposed is not only for the international community, it also requires Ukraine’s leadership in its implementation at home. The liberation of parts of the Kharkiv and Kherson regions has demonstrated that overcoming the consequences of the occupation, ensuring the restoration of power and life in the territories that have been occupied for less than a year, requires significant efforts on the part of the state and its partners. Without a systematic reintegration policy, it will not be possible to implement such points of the Peace Formula as \u201cRestoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity\u201d, \u201cWithdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities\u201d, \u201cRestoration of justice\u201d, \u201cConfirmation of the end of the war\u201d. Without regaining control over the currently occupied territories, it will not be possible to return forcibly displaced children and release civilian hostages held in illegal prisons in the occupied territories of Ukraine and in the territory of the RF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, it is the MinReintegration that has been responsible for a wide range of powers related to overcoming the consequences of the war: from coordinating the evacuation of the population from the frontline areas to supporting the families of political prisoners and maintaining communication with Ukrainians in the TOT. Obviously, not all of the currently defined powers of the MinReintegration can and should be implemented by MinRegion. Of course, the support, development and further restoration of the de-occupied territories of Ukraine should be carried out in a single logic of Ukraine’s development and restoration of all territories affected by the armed aggression against Ukraine. At the same time, there is a high risk of losing some of the powers over people affected by the armed aggression against Ukraine if the Government does not have a ministry directly responsible for developing a coherent policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We urge you, dear Mr. President, to support the retention of the ministry responsible for people affected by the war in the Government \u2013 regardless of where they are: in the occupied territories, Government-controlled areas or abroad. You mentioned this in October 2019 at the Unity Forum in Mariupol, and people-centred policies should remain in the spotlight. True national unity is only possible when all those affected by the war have a voice and protection from their state. A possible way to restart the MinReintegration could be to transform it into the Ministry of National Unity, which would ensure that the national dimension of the Peace Formula is fully implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
