The issue of registering a place of residence in the temporarily occupied territories has been relevant since 2014. The problem is that, according to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 265, the declaration/registration of the place of residence (stay) is carried out exclusively by the registration body on the territory of the territorial community, which is covered by the powers of the relevant council. Since the territories are occupied, state and local self-government bodies do not exercise their powers, and, accordingly, there is no body that can register the place of residence on the territory of the respective territorial community.
