Verkhovna Rada Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said that he will meet Russian ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova in Turkey in a few days to discuss the return of prisoners to Ukraine.
Separately, Lubinets will raise the issue of the return of civilian hostages, whom the aggressor has detained en masse on temporarily occupied territory and is not releasing.
“The plans are ambitious. After all, we do not know how the Russian side will behave. However, we are getting positive signals in advance that they are ready to consider this issue. I note that civilians, according to the Geneva Conventions, cannot be exchanged. Civilians must be released!”, – stressed the ombudsman.
