President Volodymyr Zelenskyi signed the law on changing the administrative-territorial structure of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, which was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada during the third summit of the Crimean Platform.
This is written by the Representation of the President of Ukraine in Crimea.
The purpose of the law is to create a basis for the de-occupation of the peninsula. Within a month, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine must determine the territories and administrative centers of territorial communities, on the basis of which military and military-civilian administrations will be created.
Also, within three months, the government must create district state administrations of new districts and submit to the parliament a draft law on the restoration of public power in Crimea after deoccupation. Along with this, the law provides for the decommunization of the peninsula.
