Ukraine’s Ministry of Justice has announced the inclusion of the Chernihiv region in the list of territories covered by the principle of extraterritoriality for state registration of real estate and businesses. This decision is part of a broader strategy to maintain legal security and ensure continuity of operations in areas affected by the ongoing conflict.
The extraterritoriality principle allows Ukrainian authorities to exercise jurisdiction over legal matters even when the property or business is located outside of Ukraine’s borders. This measure is intended to protect the rights of Ukrainian citizens and businesses operating in the region, despite the challenges posed by the conflict.
The inclusion of Chernihiv in this list comes amid continuing tensions in the region. The area has experienced significant disruption due to the ongoing conflict, and the new policy is expected to provide a measure of stability for local residents and businesses. The Ministry of Justice has stated that this move will help ensure that Ukrainian legal frameworks remain intact and functional, even in the face of external challenges.
