Quote from Zelenskyy: “Today is a good day for all of us. We are returning 150 of our defenders from Russian captivity. These are soldiers, sergeants, officers. Soldiers of the Navy, who were captured in Mariupol and Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Air Force, the Air Assault and Ground Forces, the National Guard, border guards, Territorial defence forces and a police officer. All of them are from different frontline areas, but they have one thing in common: they fought for Ukraine.
Some guys had been in captivity for more than two years. And today is a day that means more to them and their families than years of waiting. It is a real happiness to see them at home, alive and free.”
