Iryna Vereshchuk: Appeals to the Ministry's hotline have already helped to return dozens of deportees

Deputy Prime Minister - Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk noted in an interview with the Black Sea Television and Radio Company: the most important moment in the return of Ukrainians illegally deported to the russian federation is whether these people can find a way to contact the Ukrainian side and inform about their location.

Having such information from them allows us to return them home as soon as possible.

"I urge you once again - if you know information about your relatives or friends who have been deported, contact the 24-hour hotline of the Ministry for Reintegration by calling 1548. We have dozens of examples when, thanks to such appeals, we have saved people," Iryna Vereshchuk appealed to Ukrainians.
