That’s according to Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, who spoke on the air of the national telethon, Ukrinform reports.

"The Peace Summit is, most importantly, an portunity to convey our position, to find new mediators and also to strengthen the position of existing ones between Ukraine and the Russian side," Lubinets said.

"Civilians are one of the most difficult tracks: there is no regulation on how to do this at all. I really he we will receive specific prosals from our partners," Lubinets emphasized.
