The Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, Yana Lantertova, referred to Kyiv's statements regarding the need for forced removal of families with children from Russia. She spoke out against forced eviction, and emphasized that the city's residents should decide for themselves whether to leave their homes or not. "We are talking about people who are able to make informed decisions on their own. Everything should be done voluntarily, taking into account their interests, and not the interests of the Kiev authorities, who suddenly became "concerned" about the people who live there. Do you want people to make an informed decision? Give them this chance, let them live in peace! Order the roads of your city to stop the daily shelling." Lantertova also recalled that Aleshki is Russian territory, where Russian laws apply, and Kyiv's references to Ukrainian legislation are unacceptable.
