Oleksiy Danilov wrote this on Facebook. 

“For this Moscow garbage (the gauleiters in the temporarily occupied Crimea - ed.), I want to clearly draw in broad strokes how Ukraine will de-occupy Crimea, where they and their ilk will be the number one target - to forever discourage anyone from even looking in the direction of Moscow or opening their mouths without thinking carefully when commenting on anything related to Ukraine,” he said.

1. The NSDC Secretary proposed to erect a monument to a 'Russian warship' in Crimea.

2. Create a lustration mechanism for personalized assessment of possible crimes related to collaboration and treason.

3. “As for civil servants, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers and other categories of persons who as of 2014 were employed by the Ukrainian authorities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense, etc. and after February 2014 worked for the Russian occupation structures, Ukrainian courts will determine whether they are subject to criminal liability. But if they are not, they will be deprived of state pensions, including a ban on further employment in state and local government bodies of Ukraine.”

4. Russia must ensure the full extradition of all persons suspected of treason in Ukraine, as well as Russian war criminals.

5. Legal imprisonment of propagandists who “contributed to the occupation, militarization of childhood education and incitement to hatred against Ukraine of Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars and other nationalities.” As well as deprivation of their titles, pensions, property, etc.

6. Russian citizens illegally residing in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea must immediately leave its territory.

7. “Transactions not made under Ukrainian law after February 2014, including those involving real estate, are recognized as null and void - a law that has been in effect for 9 years.”

8. Dismantling of a traffic crossing in the city of Kerch.

9. “A comprehensive program 'Detoxification' is being implemented to neutralize the effects of years of Russian propaganda on the public consciousness of part of the peninsula's population.”

10. Creation of a documentary base of facts of Russian crimes against Ukrainian citizens, restoration of the rights of Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar activists.

11. Immediate release of all Ukrainian citizens persecuted by Russia on politically motivated grounds since 2014.

12. Sevastopol is proposed to be temporarily renamed 'Object №6', the name of which will be chosen later by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Perhaps it will be Akhtiar.

“A detailed and legally verified program is being developed by the NSDC Office with the involvement of a wide range of specialists and experts, which will be reflected in the new version of the Strategy for the De-occupation of Crimea,” Oleksiy Danilov summarized.
