"Today, 185 Ukrainian defenders are returning home from Russian captivity. One civilian is also returning with the defenders. These are servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service. Ranks: soldiers, sergeants, and officers. They defended our country in Mariupol and at Azovstal, as well as in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kyiv, and Kursk directions. Among them are those who are returning after many years of Russian captivity, in which they had been since 2022.
Thanks to everyone who makes this possible: the team involved in exchanges and our partners. Special thanks to the servicemen who replenish our exchange fund — with their strength and results at the front, they ensure the return of our people home. The work process continues. The return of our people is an unchangeable priority for Ukraine. Every day we work to free every Ukrainian man and woman from captivity," Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote in his Telegram channel.
