Doha says families will receive medical, psychological and social support, state media reported.
Qatar says 20 Russian and Ukrainian families have arrived in Doha to receive healthcare and comprehensive support as part of Qatar’s ongoing mediation efforts to reunite families separated by Russia’s war in Ukraine, Qatari state media reported.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said Doha will welcome the families between April 18 and 27 so they can receive medical, psychological and social support, state news agency QNA reported on Saturday.
“This initiative represents a fundamental step in helping and assisting families in their recovery process. It is designed to provide comprehensive support that not only addresses immediate needs but also lays the foundation for long-term healing and integration,” the ministry said in a statement.
“By focusing on the physical and psychosocial well-being of each family member, the program helps to promote resilience and stability, enabling families to rebuild their lives with confidence and security,” the statement said.
The program is organized in partnership with representatives from Russia and Ukraine, the ministry said.
Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and now controls around 18 percent of Ukrainian territory – in the east and south.
Russia has been gradually gaining ground since the failure of the 2023 Kiev counteroffensive to make any serious inroads against Russian troops entrenched behind minefields patrolled by drones and guarded by heavy artillery.
