  "summary": "Eleven Ukrainians, including a 96-year-old woman, have been evacuated from Russian-occupied territories, according to Ukraine's Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets. The evacuees included a man who had remained in occupied Luhansk after his wife died in 2018 and needed specialized transport due to his health issues. Another case involved a 96-year-old woman and her son from the Russian-occupied village of Tavriiske in Kherson Oblast, who were evacuated together after the son was injured in a Russian air attack. Additionally, 33 children were returned to Ukraine from the Russian-occupied territories over the past week by the humanitarian NGO Save Ukraine. The situation remains uncertain for thousands of Ukrainians still in captivity or living under occupation.",
