Dear Ukrainians, I wish you health!
Today, we have good news. Another 116 Ukrainians were released from Russian captivity.
Of them, 114 are privates and sergeants, and two are officers. Soldiers of our army, the National Guard, territorial defense, Navy, border guards, and the State Emergency Service.
We are constantly working to bring home all our people held in Russian captivity. And I'm happy every time it succeeds.
I thank our entire team that prepares exchanges, the Coordinating Staff of the Defense Intelligence. Budanov, Usov, Yermak, Klymenko, Maliuk, Lubinets – I thank everyone! Thanks to everyone who helped.
Of course, it is worth mentioning Denys Monastyrsky... He participated in preparing this exchange. And his death is really a big loss for our country.
Since February 24, our team has managed to return totally 1,762 Ukrainian men and women from Russian captivity.
I also thank all those involved in helping these people after their return.
Everyone who treats, restores documents, helps solve problematic issues of those released from captivity. It reflects the basic meaning of what we do. We restore and protect the normality of life for our people in a free country.
