#Repost @mfa_ukraine with @use.repost_ . . . 157 Ukrainians have just returned home from Russian captivity!
Service members of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service. 139 of them had been held captive since 2022.
The youngest freed Ukrainian defender is 23. He was captured at 19 while defending Mariupol and was illegally sentenced by a Russian court to life imprisonment. The oldest defender released today is 63.
Today’s exchange took place after a long pause, and we thank everyone working to make these exchanges possible. We must, and we will, bring everyone back.
