16 Ukrainians were returned from Russian occupation to territory controlled by Ukraine.
This was reported by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets.
Lubinets emphasized that the return of 16 Ukrainians from temporarily occupied territories is 16 of different stories, circumstances, and paths to safety. For some, the journey home became an opportunity to finally receive medical care; for others, a chance to reunite with relatives. Each such return requires an individual approach, careful preparation, and coordination of many people.
According to him, this evacuation took place through the Novyi Yarylovychi checkpoint. The international company with a Ukrainian spirit, MHP, and its founder and CEO Yurii Kosiuk played an important role in organizing the return of Ukrainians.
"However, crossing the border is only the beginning of the return to a safe life. People often need medical care, restoration of documents, temporary housing, tickets to their destination, psychological support, and the opportunity to reunite with relatives," the ombudsman noted.
He noted cooperation with the international charitable foundation Caritas Ukraine. Thanks to this support, people receive financial assistance, temporary accommodation, psychological and social support, tickets, and other necessary aid.
He also thanked the International Committee of the Red Cross, representatives of state bodies, humanitarian organizations, medical workers, social workers, and all specialists involved in the return of Ukrainians.
Two stories from this evacuation
Not all such stories can be told in detail. Sometimes keeping a person safe requires not disclosing the circumstances of their rescue.
Her husband — an elderly person with a disability, a liquidator of the Chornobyl NPP accident — also needed treatment and could no longer care for his wife on his own.
"We were preparing their urgent return to Kyiv, where their daughter was waiting to care for both of them. But before the departure, the woman died. Only her husband was able to be returned to territory controlled by Ukraine," Lubinets said.
