History

Cabinet of Ukraine).[1] Chernysh is the former head of the State Agency for restoration of Donbas.[5]

The ministry tries to "search for solutions and reintegration strategies" for Ukraine to regain control

Ukrainian army and the forces of the two breakaway republics escalated into an armed conflict known as the Russo-Ukrainian War.[12][13] The war in Donbas led to 1.6 million people becoming internally displaced persons, according to the registry of the Ukrainian government.[14] The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights reported in March 2016 that 800,000 to 1 million of them lived within Ukrainian government controlled Ukraine.[14]

The Honcharuk Government (on 29 August 2019) merged the Ministry for Veterans Affairs into the ministry degrading the first to an agency as it previously existed.[2] On 23 January 2020 then Minister Oksana Koliada stated that the Ministry would likely be split up again into a separate Ministry for Veterans Affairs with the Ministry of Temporarily Occupied Territories and IDPs to be renamed "Ministry of Reintegration".[15] Indeed, on 4 March 2020 the new Shmyhal Government undid the merge of the two ministries.[3]
