On Friday, September 13, another exchange of prisoners of war took place. 49 Ukrainians are home.
This was announced by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
Prisoner exchange today: what is known
These are soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, the National Police, the State Border Service, as well as our civilians.
Now watching
In particular, Leniye Umerova — a girl whom the Russians took hostage when she came to take care of her sick father. They also managed to free another of the defenders of Azovstal.
The Azov patronage service reported that after more than 2 years of captivity, 15 Azov residents, mostly women, returned home.
Home and Hero of Ukraine, military medic Viktor Ivchuk.
— I thank our entire team, which ensures the release of prisoners and hostages from Russian captivity. And I would like to separately note each of our Ukrainian units that replenish the exchange fund for our state. All of our soldiers who take the Russian occupier prisoner, all of our services that neutralize Russian saboteurs and collaborators, bring the liberation of our people closer. We must bring home all of our soldiers and civilians, the president noted.
Let us recall that on Ukraine's Independence Day, 115 of our defenders were returned from Russian captivity.
Among them, fighters of the National Guard, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Navy, the State Border Service.
