About 1.5 million Ukrainians, most of whom are women and children, are currently in Russia without an opportunity to return home, and their relatives cannot establish contact with them. Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Olha Stefanishyna, reported this.
According to her, “it is important to use all available international instruments for the protection of basic human rights and redouble our joint efforts to prevent the violent exploitation of Ukrainian citizens.”
