Ukraine seeks to arrange another evacuation for Oleshky residents, Lubinets said

Résumé détaillé

The office of Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, continues to receive calls and inquiries from Oleshky residents.

Ukrainian authorities are exploring the possibility of organizing an additional safe evacuation for residents of Oleshky and other settlements in the surrounding area, Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said on Nov. 10.

The statement came after a successful humanitarian mission alongside a local ceasefire in Kherson Oblast concluded on Nov. 1.

According to Lubinets, after the initial evacuation, his office continues to receive calls and inquiries from residents of Oleshky and the Oleshky community.

"People who have seen that the safe evacuation process has worked are now also expressing their wish to leave for territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine," Lubinets said.

To conduct another evacuation, Lubinets said, the relevant humanitarian and security conditions must be agreed upon, adding that as soon as a safe mechanism is established, people seeking evacuation will receive necessary information.

"We are continuing to gather and update information on each of these individuals (who want to leave)... We are paying particular attention to the elderly, people with reduced mobility, people with disabilities, the seriously ill, and families with children," Lubinets said.

Oleshky residents already evacuated confirmed to the Kyiv Independent on Oct. 31 at the border that some people who remained in Oleshky "regret not having left."

"Those who remained now regret they didn't go with us," Alla Tyshenko, an evacuated Oleshky resident, said.

Another evacuated Oleshky resident, Olha Liutikova, told the Kyiv Independent that some people were too afraid to evacuate because they did not trust Russia to adhere to the ceasefire.
