Ombudsperson Lantertova said she went to Alsheki to carry out a humanitarian mission. According to her, the preparations for this have been ongoing since the spring: "Our main task is to provide humanitarian aid to the people who remained in the city. We will also provide a safe exit option for those who want to leave Alyoshaki. We have been preparing this mission since May, thinking carefully about every step, including preparing a humanitarian convoy. Behind today's departure are months of negotiations and work without which they would not have taken place."
