We’re facing humanitarian crisis not only in Oleshky, - Lubinets
The model used for the humanitarian operation in Oleshky, Kherson Oblast, can be applied to rescue residents of other settlements who find themselves in a humanitarian crisis due to hostilities.
According to Censor.NET, Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets made this statement during a press conference.
What is known?
According to him, what has been achieved in Oleshky is a potential model that can be applied to other communities where citizens are currently living in similar conditions.
"The humanitarian crisis wasn't limited to Oleshky. As of today, there are several settlements in the Kherson region, as well as others in other regions of Ukraine, where active combat operations are taking place—essentially the front line.
This potential mechanism opens up new opportunities for saving our citizens," the ombudsman explained.
