Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Liudmyla Denisova has said that four Crimean political prisoners who returned after the swap to Ukraine, will be provided with housing, namely, Oleh Sentsov, Oleksandr Kolchenko, Volodymyr Balukh and Artur Panov.

“We are working now with the President’s Office to purchase apartments for Sentsov, Kolchenko, Balukh and Panov,” Denisova told the program “Even as We Speak” on the Hromadske TV channel on Sept. 9.

According to her, it is about housing in Kyiv. All four agree to stay in the city, in particular, because they cannot return to Crimea.

“First we asked who they would like to live with, found out the composition of the families, and gave all the information to the President’s Office,” the Ombudswoman said.
