Details: According to Syniehubov, the local government reports to the Office of the President and Ministry for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories in all such cases. 

The Head of Kharkiv Oblast emphasised that authorities try to keep in touch with Heads and village elders who remained in the occupied territories.

According to Syniehubov, during such communications, the authorities report on the situation at the front and warn local governments against cooperation with the occupiers.
