CrimeaSOS launched a new legal hotline service

A new legal “hotline” service was launched by CrimeaSOS today. This service is aimed to provide legal assistance to those affected by the war.

“Because of the war, many people were forced to resettle. Others are experiencing resettlement again as a result of active hostilities. People are losing important documents which need to be reinstated, and new regulations are being adopted which have not been completely worked out yet and require clarification,” said Anastasia Kalinina, an attorney with CrimeaSOS.

As part of this new service, attorneys will instruct you on how to get help from the government agencies, obtain a certificate of an internally displaced person (IDP), safely move abroad, or out of the occupied Crimea, and so on.
