DONETSK (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 17th May, 2019) Ombudswoman of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Darya Morozova, discussed on Friday with head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) delegation in Ukraine, Florence Gillette, plans for searching for missing persons in the Donbas, a spokesperson for the DPR ombudswoman told reporters on Friday."The discussion was focused on the concept of searching for missing persons proposed by the ICRC. Darya Morozova stressed the inadmissibility of politicization of the search for missing persons," the spokeswoman said.
Morozova earlier said, commenting on the results of the meeting of the humanitarian subgroup of the Minsk contact group on Donbas, which was held in a video conference mode on Thursday, that the parties had managed to agree to resume search for people that went missing during the conflict in Donbas.
The DPR and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) declared independence in 2014, refusing to recognize the new Ukrainian government. Kiev in response launched a military operation against the self-proclaimed republics. In February 2015, the conflicting parties signed a ceasefire agreement in the Belarusian capital city of Minsk, but the situation in the region remains tense.
