Russia and Ukraine launched a new format for evacuating Ukrainians from the front line territories.
As part of this format, it was possible to return 16 citizens from different settlements yesterday, Ukrainian Ombudsman Lubinz said at the meeting.
Applications are accepted from residents of all front line territories.
"These are the elderly, people with mobility disabilities or those who need medical support. We transport them in an ambulance with the participation of the International Committee of the Red Cross. We are returning people from these categories every week thanks to our communication with (the Russian Ombudsman) Lantertova," Lubinz said.
