State Institution "Kyselivka Correctional Centre (No. 125)" was part of the structure of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine and was an open-type institution intended for the execution of sentences in the form of restriction of liberty in accordance with the requirements of Ukraine's criminal-executive legislation.

The institution ensured proper conditions for serving sentences, the organization of convicts' labour, and the implementation of social-educational work and measures aimed at their resocialization.

In 2014, as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation and the occupation of part of the territory of the Donetsk region, State Institution "Kyselivka Correctional Centre (No. 125)" found itself in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.

Since that time, Ukraine has lost actual control over the institution and its property complex.

Due to the temporary occupation, state authorities of Ukraine are deprived of the possibility to manage the institution, monitor the conditions for serving sentences, and obtain reliable information regarding the current state of the facilities and the manner of their use.

Thus, State Institution "Kyselivka Correctional Centre (No. 125)" belongs to those institutions of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine that have been in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine since 2014.

In accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Citizens and the Legal Regime on the Temporarily Occupied Territory of Ukraine," the territory on which the institution is located is an inalienable part of Ukraine, and state property remains the property of Ukraine regardless of the actual control over it.
