Ukraine begins recruitment of civil servants for occupied Crimea

Ukraine started to accept applications to create a reserve of civil servants that could be deployed in the territories liberated from the Russian occupation.

Ukrainian Crimean Tatar human rights defender Tamila Tasheva announced the initiative, Rubryka reports.

What is the problem?

The Crimean Tatar human rights defender noted that the need for qualified personnel in the de-occupied territories would be great. For Crimea alone, this is at least 50,000 specialists.

What is the solution?

Application forms for the reserve of civil servants are being accepted for work in the liberated territories.

Tasheva says that this is an essential step for forming a personnel reserve that will be provided to the de-occupied communities, including the liberated Crimean peninsula.

"I know this is important news for many because I personally receive many appeals from people who are ready to participate in the reintegration of the Crimean Peninsula directly. We have a lot of work ahead of us, which is why we need to start it now," the human rights activist explained.

How does it work?

As Tasheva said, the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Health currently meet the need and form a reserve of teachers and healthcare workers. They are already working on technical solutions in this direction.

Those who plan to get the qualifications of a civil servant and work in the de-occupied territory can submit their application on the National Agency of Ukraine for Civil Service website. Ukrainians can join the reserve on the website of the National Agency of Ukraine for Civil Service by following the link.

Public service is work for society's good and every citizen's well-being, Tasheva said. Working in government agencies in the de-occupied territories is a chance to make significant changes in Ukraine with small steps and bring its victory closer. This is an opportunity to restore life and well-being in the de-occupied territories.

Civil servants working in state bodies in the de-occupied territories can build a new future for the country with their daily work. After all, this is work with a high level of personal participation and responsibility for making decisions that affect people's lives.

"If you understand the importance of restoring the de-occupied territories, have the necessary qualifications or want to try your hand at public service and are aware of the level of responsibility of this work, don't delay, join the reserve," the agency emphasized.

As Rubryka reported, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine's ultimate goal under his leadership is the de-occupation of Crimea, and only then will this mean that "the war is over" and "peace" without Crimea will not be considered a "victory" by Zelensky.
