Key takeaway On 10 June 2026, in a milestone decision, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted the new five-year State Strategy on Internal Displacement (2026 to 2030) and the associated Operational Action Plan.
Why this matters
The adoption of Ukraine's new State Strategy on Internal Displacement marks a significant shift in the government's approach to addressing the displacement crisis caused by Russia's ongoing war. By treating displacement as a continuous pathway, the strategy acknowledges the complex and interconnected stages of evacuation, adaptation, local integration, and voluntary return. This comprehensive approach enables a more cohesive and effective response to the needs of internally displaced people, who have been forced to flee their homes since 2014. The strategy's emphasis on national responsibility and whole-of-government approach is crucial in ensuring that the response to internal displacement is coordinated and sustained. The recent adoption of law No. 12301 provides a critical legal framework for implementing the strategy, particularly in terms of coordination and support for IDPs. As the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, the success of this strategy will depend on the government's ability to operationalize its objectives and provide durable solutions for those affected by the conflict.
