KYIV. May 25 (Interfax) - Kyiv is set to submit a list of 128 Ukrainian citizens held in Donbas to the OSCE on Thursday in order to obtain information about their life situation, Verkhovna Rada First Deputy Chairperson and Ukrainian representative in the Trilateral Contact Group's humanitarian subgroup Iryna Herashchenko said.
"We demand that 128 Ukrainian citizens held on occupied territory be released. We will again submit this list to the OSCE today and will demand that information about the whereabouts of these people and their fate be provided and that they be included in the prisoner swap list," Herashchenko said in parliament on Thursday.
Kyiv also wants civilians held in Donbas to be included in those lists, she said.
In Herashchenko's words, Valeriya Lutkovska, Ukrainian human rights commissioner, was not permitted to visit prisons in the territories uncontrolled by Kyiv at the negotiations in Minsk on Wednesday.
