‘Opinion’ welcomes Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia Ella Pamfilova. The discussion is focussed on the rights of Russian citizen and Ukrainians having come to Russia after the armed conflict in Donbass had broken out.

‘A journalist is a person who works for the sake of peace,’ Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia Ella Pamfilova said.

The day before, in Kharkov, human rights commissioners Ella Pamfilova and Valeriya Lutkovskaya at their meeting with people told that the memorandum of aid to civilians and creation of humanitarian passage routes had been signed. Those passage routes, which were to be opened by the Ukrainian authorities, and of which the people in the thick of the events remained unaware.

This was announced by Ms Pamfilova today at the Coordination Council of Russian ombudsmen meeting.

Ella Pamfilova has been holding the office of the human rights commissioner for a bit more than two months and it’s the first time within the office when she meets with the president. Right from the start she underscores an alarming problem – an increasing flow of refugees from Ukraine. Not only the Russian border regions are receiving the neighbours. The whole country must be ready to lend a helping hand.

Ella Pamfilova said mass media representatives in Ukraine have been under an unprecedented pressure.
