The research presentation “After Captivity: What Released Civilians Face” will take place in Kyiv on June 9.

The study was prepared by the Civil Society Protection Foundation “Civis Fortis” in cooperation with the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation.

Finding housing, medical treatment, and restoring identity documents are just some of the challenges awaiting Ukrainian civilians upon their release from russian captivity. How do former hostages navigate this journey? Is there comprehensive state support available for them? What changes need to be implemented in the fields of medical, social, and legal assistance?

Speakers:

• Anastasiia Odintsova, Legal Analyst at Civis Fortis;
• Maxym Parashchevin, Expert at the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation;
• Kostiantyn Davydenko, survivor of russian captivity;
• Olena Yahupova, survivor of russian captivity and forced labor;
• Tetiana Katrychenko, Head of the Media Initiative for Human Rights.

Media accreditation is required to attend.
