There is no state strategy to return the territories of Donbas, temporarily occupied by pro-Russian militants.
Heorhiy Tuka, ex-chairman of the Luhansk Military and Civil State Administration, newly appointed deputy minister for the occupied territories, said this in an interview with Ukrainian Channel 5.
"I met with the President two days ago. I told him that, unfortunately, as the head of the region, I have seen no state strategy for dealing with the occupied territories," Tuka said.
According to Heorhiy Tuka, he became a member of "the group that will elaborate the strategic decisions."
"First of all, we must answer ourselves what our ultimate goal is: whether it is return of territories, return of people, or return of territories and people. I support the latter approach, though it is the most difficult one," he added.
