The Cabinet of Ministers blocks the work of state registers in several cities in Donetsk Oblast located in the war zone, said Pavlo Zhebrivsky, the head of Donetsk Oblast military and civil administration.

He said that due to the fact that the Cabinet referred Mariupol, Kramatorsk, Artemivsk, Dzerzhynsk and other cities to the war zone, a dangerous legal collision occurred: these localities applied the norm that prohibits changes in the structure of owners, directors of enterprises, ownership of property.

Now it is impossible to buy or sell housing, re-register rights of ownership there.

“That means that the territory actually operates by analogy with the temporarily occupied territory. We were stunned by these things,” Zhebrivsky added.

According to him, Donetsk military and civil administration prepared a draft law, which establishes the norms prohibiting changes in state registers apply only to the temporarily occupied territories and do not apply to the territory controlled by Ukrainian authorities.
