“We are bringing our 157 Ukrainians home. Warriors of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service. Soldiers, sergeants, and officers. And civilians are also returning together with the defenders. Most of them had been in captivity since 2022.
Today’s exchange took place after a long pause, and it is very important that it was possible to carry it out. Thank you to everyone who works for these exchanges, and to everyone at the front who replenishes Ukraine’s exchange fund. Without the determination of our warriors, such exchanges would be impossible, so every result achieved by our units is what also sustains the ability to bring Ukrainians home from russia”, - President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said on February 5.
He added that work continues to free our people from captivity.
“We must return — and we will definitely return — everyone. We are working on every single name. So that every family can wait for their own”, - the president wrote.
