Five Ukrainians were returned from the temporarily occupied territories, including a couple who were blown up by a mine and were without medical assistance for 12 days. According to Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinz, on September 11 a man and a woman were leaving for groceries when their car was blown up by a mine. They were injured. A passer-by helped them get home, but an ambulance was unable to arrive due to the security situation. The couple's condition deteriorated all the time, and they were admitted to the hospital on September 23. The man lost his vision and had multiple shrapnel wounds, and the woman required emergency skin graft surgery. The ombudsman was contacted by the couple's son, who asked to return them from the occupation. Photo: Dmytro Lubintz / Telegram.
