Through the efforts of the Office of the Ombudsman of Ukraine 17 citizens were able to return from the TOT, and another 4 — from the TOT, but via other countries: Georgia and Moldova. An important role in the evacuation was played by the international company with Ukrainian roots MHP and its founder and CEO Yuriy Kosyuk.
This was reported to KV by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets.
“Among those returned are three families from Kherson region. Before the occupation they were neighbors, and over these years they have effectively become one large family. They endured shelling together, prolonged power outages, shared food and supported those who were worst off,” the statement says.
However, unfortunately, not everyone was able to leave. Due to a sharp deterioration in health, two of their relatives remained in the TOT.
“The four people who were evacuated from the TOT via Georgia and Moldova are an entire family: a Ukrainian man, his father and two young girls. The family faced persecution after the mother of the children was detained for her pro-Ukrainian stance and sentenced to a lengthy prison term,” Dmytro Lubinets said.
