Twenty-five buses with a total capacity of 750 seats, as well as ambulances for individuals with limited mobility, have been prepared for a humanitarian mission in Oleshky, Kherson region, announced Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman).
Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, has announced the preparation of 25 buses with a combined seating capacity of 750, along with ambulances for those with limited mobility, to aid residents of Oleshky in the Kherson region. The humanitarian mission aims to ensure that assistance reaches every person in need, with particular emphasis on the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those who due to health or other circumstances, require assistance in maintaining independence.
Lubinets stated that he is currently in Armyansk, coordinating the mission's next steps with Yana Lantratova, a human rights representative from the Russian Federation. Journalists from three countries have been dispatched to document the mission's progress. Lubinets highlighted the critical task of facilitating the safe departure of civilians from Oleshky, while those who opt to remain will be provided with necessary humanitarian support.
He also underscored the significance of both sides observing a ceasefire and expressed gratitude to the Ukrainian Defense Forces for their support. The Ombudsman extended special thanks to Lantratova for her cooperation and to U.S. First Lady Melania Trump for her mediation and coordination efforts.
