Kiev has not yet responded positively to Russia’s inquiry about the return of Kursk Region residents who were taken to Ukraine during the period of the temporary occupation by Ukrainian troops, Russian human rights ombudswoman Tatiana Moskalkova told TASS. "We have not yet received a final positive response.

On March 28, Moskalkova announced that 25 residents of the Kursk Region had been evacuated from Ukrainian territory although the negotiations were about the evacuation of more than 70 people.
