Against the backdrop of intensified diplomatic efforts, we are once again seeing reports of messages sent in my name to members of the diplomatic corps and our partners in various countries.
These messages attempt to establish contact and obtain information about Ukraine’s work with partners and international negotiations.
Please do not respond to such messages or share any information if you have even the slightest doubt about the contact.
It is best to verify the phone number, account, or email address through official diplomatic channels, the relevant authority in your country, or Ukrainian diplomats.
If you receive a suspicious message in my name, do not engage in correspondence and inform the Ukrainian side.
Please remain vigilant.
During high-level meetings in North Macedonia, Elvin Kadyrov, Representative of Ukraine’s Ombudsman for Crimea and Sevastopol, raised the persecution of Crimean political prisoners and the systematic repression of Indigenous peoples in occupied Crimea.
According to Ukraine’s Ombudsman’s Office, at least 40 illegally detained Ukrainian civilians suffer from serious illnesses. Many have conditions that should preclude imprisonment under the European Prison Rules.
