“Home is not just words. Home is Ukraine. Today, another 90 of our people returned home from Russian captivity,” wrote Zelenskyy.
Among the exchanged are soldiers of the National Guard, the Navy, the Army, and border guards. They include those who defended Mariupol, the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Kherson, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk directions.
Zelenskyy thanked everyone who worked on bringing the POW’s back home, including the UAE.
“We remember all our people in Russian captivity. We continue to work for the liberation of each and every one. We are looking for the truth about everyone who can be held by the enemy. Thanks to our exchange team: Budanov, Yermak, Malyuk, Klymenko, Lubinets. To all the helping partners, the UAE for assisting in the release of these people of ours. Together we can achieve even the most difficult results,” Zelenskyy added.
