Russia and Ukraine to hold family reunification in early September
Kyiv • UNN
Russia and Ukraine are planning family reunification events for early September. The process requires coordination of logistics and security, as well as coordination between humanitarian organizations.
In early September, Russia and Ukraine plan to hold a series of events to reunite families affected by the full-scale invasion. This is reported by Russian media, citing the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, Tatyana Moskalkova, as reported by UNN.
Currently, we have about eight families asking to be reunited. This is a very difficult story, because most of them have expired passports, and documents need to be processed. If they are elderly people, then their travel needs to be arranged, an ambulance provided, and issues with the International Committee of the Red Cross resolved. But we agreed that in early September we will conduct a number of such family reunifications
According to representatives of the Russian side, the process requires careful coordination, particularly regarding security and logistics, and involves coordination between humanitarian organizations and state structures of both countries.
