Two civilians were also returned from Russian captivity.

It is noted that among those released are those who were tortured by the enemy in captivity. All of them will be given the necessary medical care and sent for rehabilitation.

Our team, the Coordinating Staff for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, continues to fulfill President Vladimir Zelensky's task, which was made clear: 'to bring everyone home'," Yermak added.

It should be noted that today's POW exchange was the fourth this month. In total, Ukraine has returned 2,279 citizens home since the start of the full-scale invasion.
