Ukraine
Ukraine regularly submits data on hate crimes to ODIHR. In 2019, the National Police of Ukraine and the Ministry of Internal Affairs worked with ODIHR to publish an information booklet on Categorizing and Investigating Hate Crimes in Ukraine: A Practical Guide. Ukraine's National Human Rights Strategy includes an objective to "create a system for preventing, combatting, documenting and investigating hate crimes". In 2020, a working group co-ordinated by the Human Rights Commissioner of the Ukrainian Parliament was created to improve hate crime recording procedures.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
Anti-LGBTI hate crime
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) published relevant recommendations in its "Conclusions on the Implementation of the Recommendations in Respect of Ukraine."
The European Parliament published relevant recommendations in its "Report on the implementation of the EU Association Agreement with Ukraine."
Racist and xenophobic hate crime, Anti-LGBTI hate crime
The United Nations Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity published relevant recommendations in his "Report on the visit to Ukraine."
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR observes that Ukraine has not reported on cases of hate crimes separately from cases of hate speech or discrimination.
