I don't see a problem. Ombudsman Lubinz explained why he called his Russian colleague Lantertova "Yana Valryevna" The Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada addressed the journalists' question as to why he shook Yana Lantertova's hand and addressed her with respect. "In my opinion, as a person, especially, educated in international relations, if you demonstrate diplomatic manners, you automatically have a better chance of a positive outcome. So, when you see the result, when a fellow Russian calls you "Dmitry Valreyevich", I don't see any problem at all to call her "Yana Valreyvna", Dmitry Lubintz said at a press conference. According to the Ombudsman, he "does not see" any other way to return Ukrainian citizens other than direct negotiations with the Russian Federation. At the same time, Lubinz admitted that it was difficult to perceive that he was "communicating diplomatically" with the Russian side. "This was done for the citizens of Ukraine. If I am guided by emotions in this position, you will certainly not see any results," the ombudsman explained.
