Ukraine considers additional evacuation of Oleshky community residents - ombudsman

Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets disclosed that efforts are being made to arrange an additional safe evacuation of residents from the Oleshky community to territory under Ukrainian control. Following a successful humanitarian mission, residents are now requesting to leave for Ukrainian territory, prompting Lubinets to gather comprehensive information about their circumstances.

Priority is given to the elderly, those with limited mobility, individuals with disabilities, seriously ill persons, and families with children. Lubinets emphasized that a safe evacuation mechanism must be established prior to organizing another evacuation. He assured that those who have already contacted him regarding evacuation have been accounted for and their details are being processed.

Lubinets reiterated that the humanitarian mission in Oleshky continues and the next initiative will specifically target the Oleshky community and surrounding settlements. The Ukrainian government plans to provide humanitarian aid to residents of Oleshky who remain in the city at least once a month. Additionally, Ukraine is developing a concept for a humanitarian center to assist relatives of citizens who are still in temporarily occupied territories and awaiting their return to Ukraine, offering social, medical, and psychological support.
