Lubinets and Kravchuk discuss return of Ukrainian children deported by Russia with MEPs

Yevheniia Kravchuk, Vice President of the European party ALDE, Deputy Head of the Servant of the People parliamentary faction, told Ukrinform.

“Together with the ALDE delegation, which included, among others, members of the European Parliament, I had a separate meeting with the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets. We talked about increasing pressure on Russia. We talked about what European parties and politicians can do to return the children who were deported by Russia. And also in order to put pressure on international organizations such as, for example, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which, in fact, has the possibility of access [to prisoners] under all existing conventions. But for one reason or another, it does not fulfill this mandate,” Kravchuk said.

The MP also stressed that Lubinets, in turn, called on his European colleagues to recognize the deportation of Ukrainian children as genocide and to exclude Russia from international organizations, as well as to impose sanctions on all those involved in the deportation of Ukrainian children.

As reported by Ukrinform, an international delegation of one of the largest European political parties, the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), arrived in Ukraine. The delegation included 18 representatives of the party, including the president of the political force.
