Representative of the President of Ukraine in Crimea: it became known who will head the department instead of Tasheva

Olga Kuryshko, who previously held the position of Deputy Presidential Envoy to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol Tamila Tasheva, has been appointed as the interim permanent representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea .

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry.

Olga Kuryshko graduated from the Yaroslav the Wise National Law Academy of Ukraine. She worked as a lawyer, in particular in the human rights organization CrimeaSOS. Kuryshko started her work at the Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in December 2021 as the Head of the Legal Support Department. She worked on strategic and programmatic documents on reintegration, participated in the development of regulations to protect the rights of residents of the annexed Crimea and Sevastopol in the areas of access to education, pensions, passport documents, and support for political prisoners and their families. In June 2023, she was appointed Deputy Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the ARC.

Yesterday, on December 4, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Tamila Tasheva from the post of his Permanent Representative in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The relevant decree No. 800/2024 was published on the President's website. According to the published document, Tasheva wrote a letter of resignation herself.

Tasheva herself noted that she would soon start working in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, despite her statement that she did not intend to do so and planned to remain the permanent representative of the President of Ukraine in the ARC.

On November 25, the Central Election Commission (CEC) recognized Tasheva as an elected MP. She was the next in line after Ivan Pryimachenko, who had filed a statement of resignation. Pryimachenko was recognized as an MP after the death of Oleh Makarov in October 2024. However, he later withdrew to continue working for the online educational platform Prometheus.
