Two elderly women who were unable to leave the part of Kherson region captured by Russian troops on their own have been returned to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian government.

This was reported by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

According to him, the women were evacuated thanks to the coordinated efforts of the Ombudsman's Office and partners, including Caritas Ukraine.

“Due to the overall security situation, they could not leave on their own. After their relatives appealed to the Ombudsman's Office, we promptly organized the safe transportation of the women to the government-controlled territory of Ukraine,” Lubinets said.
