The countries of the world should urgently join in solving the issue of returning all Ukrainians home, stated Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets.
"It was an honor to moderate the panel "Humanitarian dimension of the Ukrainian peace formula: the struggle for the return of victims of forced displacement, including deported children and prisoners of war" at the fourth meeting of the advisors on the implementation of the Peace Formula in Davos," the ombudsman said.
In his speech, Lubinets emphasized that there are currently 517 children and 2,828 adults at home, including only 150 civilians.
"And our task is to return everyone! Therefore, the international community should immediately consolidate its efforts in this direction," he said.
According to the Ombudsman, the forum also raised the issue of the return of Ukrainian prisoners of war and the horrific violation of IHL norms against them: inhumane conditions of detention, torture, and executions.
"Working in Davos is an important step to bring our people home and help Ukraine. We expect and work for results," Lubinets added.
Deportation of Ukrainian children
Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories have been repeatedly deported to both Russia and Belarus.
According to Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, Russia is using Belarus to covertly deport children from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
The media recently reported that Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko personally met children who had recently been illegally deported from Ukraine.
