Among them are wounded soldiers, as well as people against whom Russia has opened criminal cases.

Every return is incredibly important for all Ukrainians, especially for the families and loved ones waiting for them. We are deeply grateful to everyone who makes these exchanges possible – to our military units on the front line who keep building the exchange fund, and to all international partners who support Ukraine in this process.

Ukraine continues to work every day to bring all our people back from Russian captivity.

Earlier this week, Ukraine secured the release from Russian captivity of another 100 Ukrainian prisoners of war. 🇺🇦🎉👏💙💛🙏🎊🇺🇦
