"We are working on possibility of organising additional trip for residents of Oleshky and other settlements in community," - Lubinets

Following the successful completion of the humanitarian mission, the Ombudsman’s Office continues to receive calls and enquiries from residents of Oleshky and the Oleshky community in the Kherson region.

This was reported by Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada’s Commissioner for Human Rights, according to Censor.NET.

Work is continuing on a further evacuation from Oleshky

Indeed, according to Lubinets, people who have seen that the safe evacuation mechanism has worked are now also expressing a desire to leave for territory controlled by the Ukrainian Government.

"We are continuing to gather and update information on each of these individuals: we are ascertaining their whereabouts, state of health, mobility, family composition, whether they have any documents, and whether they require medical or specialised transport. We are paying particular attention to the elderly, people with reduced mobility, people with disabilities, the seriously ill and families with children," said the ombudsman.

It is noted that work is currently underway to organise an additional safe evacuation for residents of Oleshky and other settlements in the Oleshky community. To this end, according to Lubinets, the relevant humanitarian and security conditions must be agreed upon.

"As soon as a secure mechanism has been put in place, the people concerned will receive the necessary information. Those who have already contacted me have not been overlooked! Information about them has been recorded and is being processed," the Commissioner emphasised.

Lubinec also urged people to let the authorities know if their circumstances had changed, particularly regarding their state of health, whereabouts, family composition or contact details.

"Our work did not end with the first humanitarian mission. We are continuing to work to ensure that people who wish to leave are able to do so safely and of their own free will. At the same time, I would like to point out that the next initiative is planned solely for Oleshky and the surrounding settlements," added the Ombudsman.
