Ukraine human rights commissioner Lutkivska offers to meet her Russian counterpart on June 13
KYIV/MOSCOW. June 10 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian Parliament's commissioner for human rights, Valeria Lutkivska, has proposed holding a meeting with her Russian counterpart Ella Pamfilova in Kharkiv on June 13 in order to discuss the situation in Ukraine's eastern regions.
Lutkivska's press service told Interfax that an appropriate letter had been forwarded to Russia's human rights commissioner on Monday.
Russian and Ukrainian human rights activists and UN representatives should be present at such a meeting as well.
The press service also said that on May 28 human rights campaigners in Ukraine and Russia published an appeal to the two countries' commissioners, asking them to establish a joint mission to monitor the situation in eastern Ukraine and prevent violence there.
Such a meeting was supposed to have taken place last week, but it was then postponed.
Pamfilova said on June 9 that she was prepared to travel to Ukraine any time soon to meet with Lutkivska or invite her to Moscow to discuss the situation with human rights in eastern Ukraine.
Pamfilova told Interfax on Tuesday she was still unable to confirm that such a meeting would eventually take place.
