The Ukrainian candidate won by an overwhelming majority of votes, bypassing the representative of the Russian Federation.
Within the framework of the Permanent Forum, Ukraine will make every effort to ensure the rights and freedoms of indigenous peoples, including in the temporarily occupied territories of our state.
“Ukraine has also been elected to the Commission on the Status of Women and the Commission on Social Development for the period 2023-2027, which are important platforms, in particular for combating Russia’s crimes. Within the framework of these bodies, our state will continue to work to ensure women’s rights and promote social protection of the population of Ukraine in wartime and peacetime.”
