Lawyers of the <\/em><\/strong>CSO “Association of Lawyers of Kam<\/em><\/strong>ianets-Podilsky<\/em><\/strong>i”<\/em><\/strong><\/a> drafted the legal documents for the territorial defense of their community. This success story is interesting because there is still no clear legal regulation in Ukraine for the functioning of voluntary defense associations. At the same time, the LDN’s member organization, by developing policies and procedures for them, was able to regulate the work of the local center of territorial defense. This can be an example to follow for other Ukrainian communities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beginning of a full-scale war with russia was remembered by the residents of Kamianets-Podilskyi not only by the flow of forced displaced persons but also by huge queues. People who voluntarily decided to defend Ukraine lined up near the military enlistment offices. Those who, for various reasons, were unable to join the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and territorial defense battalions, joined the voluntary formations of territorial defense. In the considerably small city of Kamianets-Podilskyi, with a population of about 100,000, more than half a thousand men and women have signed a volunteer contract. Among them are representatives of the Association of Lawyers of Kamianets-Podilsky: Ihor Antoniuk<\/strong>, Executive Director, and Maksym Ilchyshen<\/strong>, lawyer of the organization and the Chairman of the Board of the Legal Development Network<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first challenges faced by the Voluntary Formation \u2116 2 of the Kamianets-Podilskyi Territorial Community are the lack of regulation of both the procedures for the legalization of the formation and the regulation of its activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
