Ukraine and Russia have reached the stage of agreeing on the final details of evacuating civilians from occupied Oleshky and six neighboring settlements in the Kherson region. According to Kyiv, up to six thousand people, including children, remain there.

The Ombudsman of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, reported the return of 15 Ukrainians from occupied territories, including a 96-year-old resident of Zheleznyi Port and a 74-year-old resident of Kherson who suffered a stroke.

At a meeting with the Vatican nuncio in Moscow, Lavrov called on the Holy See to pay attention to the "persecution" of the UOC against the backdrop of the entry into force of Ukrainian Law 3894-IX. The talks also covered the humanitarian tracks of the exchange of detainees and the return of children.

Ombudsman Lubinets reported at the “Ukraine — USA” forum on the return of 9,726 Ukrainians from Russian captivity, including 2,506 children and 464 civilians. The US played a key role in the exchanges.
