Kuchma toughly sets question of ICRC access to prisoners in occupied parts of Donbass – Ukraine's envoy

Ukraine's envoy in Trilateral Contact Group on Peace Settlement of the Situation in Donbas, second president of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, has toughly brought up a question about an access of the representatives of the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) to the prisoners jailed in the occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Ukrainian president's envoy for humanitarian issues in the group Iryna Heraschenko said.

"Kuchma very toughly brought up a question about an access of the ICRC to the prisons in the occupied territories," she wrote on her page in Facebook on Wednesday following the results of the Minsk meeting.

Heraschenko said that Ukrainian party's initiative, which was backed by all, foresees liberation of over 50 citizens in next few days.

"The matter concerns liberation from two sides, we made definite proposals regarding a number of people," she said.

Ukraine's envoy also stressed that mine clearing of key twelve infrastructure facilities also on an active phase.

For her part, Kuchma's press secretary Darya Olifer said on Facebook that "international humanitarian organizations, particularly, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) were to be allowed to come to prisoners who are in jail on the territory of Donbas that is not under control of Ukraine."
