Ukraine is launching an interagency working group to draft a single comprehensive law establishing a special legal status and rules for frontline territories, Head of the President’s Office Kyrylo Budanov announced on Friday.
The initiative follows a high-level coordination meeting on support for frontline regions, attended by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, government officials and lawmakers.

Budanov said more than 6 million Ukrainians currently live along the line of fire in 10 regions.
“These are people who, despite the enemy’s daily terror and hundreds of thousands of destroyed infrastructure sites, have chosen to remain in Ukraine – to work and live in their communities,” Budanov wrote.
He said temporary solutions for frontline areas no longer work and that residents need stronger state support, including better protection of energy infrastructure, fairer assistance for internally displaced people, and security guarantees for doctors, teachers and utility workers working under shelling.
The working group would immediately begin drafting a comprehensive law on the special legal status and regulation of activities in frontline territories.
“People living near the line of fire must receive maximum support from the state,” Budanov added.
The initiative comes as the government is also launching a recovery program for businesses damaged by Russian strikes, offering loans at 0.1 percent for the first two years.
