According to the innovations, a supreme governing body, the Council of the Coordination Headquarters for Prisoners of War, has been established within the structure of the Coordination Headquarters for Prisoners of War. This was reported by the Ministry of Reintegration.
The Council includes the Minister of Defence, the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights.
