That was the beginning. And now I'm at home. And everything in the world needs to be experienced, and each finish is, in essence, a start. Each defender of Mariupol will return home. Every piece of Ukrainian land will be reclaimed. We returned to fight further!, – she wrote on Instagram and added a photo with the Ukrainian flag. /p>
“Bird” returned from captivity: the main thing
Ekaterina Polishchuk was a paramedic at Azovstal and left the plant in May, when Ukrainian defenders and defenders were being evacuated. Our soldiers were ordered to stop the defense of Mariupol and save their lives.
More than 2,000 Ukrainian defenders and defenders who were captured by Russia left Azovstal. Since then, there has been no information about “Ptashka”. And only on September 18 propagandists published a video with “Ptashka”, which showed that she was alive.
Ekaterina Polishchuk became famous after she sang within the walls of the Azovstal plant, which the Russians bombed.
Already on September 21, it became known that “Bird” was released from captivity. Then, an exchange of prisoners took place between Ukraine and Russia, in which 215 of our defenders and defenders were released.
Svetlana Polishchuk, the mother of Ptashka, spoke about the first conversation with her daughter who returned from captivity. According to Svetlana, her daughter's call was a pleasant surprise for her. She hopes to be able to see her daughter soon.
