⚡️ Russia's High Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova: 💬 Today, on October 23, we are working in Belarus, where several important humanitarian missions are taking place. 🫂 The long-awaited reunification of families took place: seven people are returning to Russia, and another seven to Ukraine. Each person has their own story. Some had long been unable to return to their loved ones because of problems with documents. Others found themselves far from their families, without support or means of subsistence. Among those who returned home today are elderly people, for whom being alone is especially difficult. Ahead lie reunions with relatives, the long-awaited embraces they have missed so much, and the chance to be close to their loved ones again. ❗️ In total, today’s humanitarian initiative reunited 12 families. This work was made possible by agreements with the Ukrainian side and the assistance of the International Committee of the Red Cross. When people’s lives are at stake, it is especially important to maintain dialogue and find solutions despite the difficulties. My thanks go to Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmitry Lubinets. We continue our work, because behind every appeal to return home are people waiting for their loved ones. And every reunion brings immense joy.
