Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets clarified that his initial meeting with Russian ombudsman Yana Lantratova focused on establishing contact for future dialogue, rather than immediately addressing her alleged role in child deportations.

Human rights expert Boris Zakharov emphasized that releasing approximately 20,000 prisoners and civilian detainees should precede negotiations, noting a recent exchange included only one civilian among 186 Ukrainians.
