Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine's Human Rights Commissioner, held his first working meeting with Yana Lantratova, Russia's new human rights commissioner. The meeting coincided with the latest prisoner-of-war exchange between the two countries.

Yana Lantratova, a new human rights official, announced that over 160 displaced residents from Kursk have returned from Ukraine, with plans to verify the exact number still held in Ukraine.

Yana Lantratova has been appointed as Russia's new Human Rights Commissioner, described by rights defenders as a young careerist shaped by the current political system.
