Kyiv has called on separate areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions (ORDLO) to provide correct information on hostages kept in the territory not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities and made a compromise proposal on their release, First Deputy Speaker, Ukraine's envoy to the humanitarian subgroup at Trilateral Contact Group talks in Minsk Iryna Gerashchenko has said.

She said on Facebook page, writing from Minsk, on the results of the subgroup meeting on Wednesday that the OSCE coordinator Toni Frisch told the humanitarian subgroup about the details of his visit to the occupied territories and prisons, where the Ukrainian hostages are kept.

"He was able to give letters to hostages from their homes and inspected the conditions of their detention. It was the first opportunity during one and a half year to see the guys - we had been struggling for a long time to achieve it ... But, of course, our key objective is not a visit, but their liberation," Gerashchenko said.

"At the meeting of the humanitarian subgroup, Ukrainian side has called ORDLO to provide correct information about the hostages, and made a specific, compromise proposal for the release of the hostages," the Ukrainian representative said.

According to her, the specific cases of illegal detention were pointed to at the meeting. "Kyiv has expressed concern that the number of cases of illegal arrests has significantly increased in the occupied territories in recent weeks," Gerashchenko said, concluding: "we’ll provide the details no longer for the sake of the result, let’s continue working."
