Among those released were defenders of the 36th Marine Brigade, the National Guard, including the 12th Azov Special Forces Brigade, border guards, and representatives of the Kraken special forces. There were also representatives of the National Police and Terrorist Defense, State Emergency Service, and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“In total, since the beginning of the mass invasion, 57 exchanges of prisoners of war have been carried out and 3,672 Ukrainians have been returned… Families hoping for the same news, do not lose faith! your loved ones go home,” assured Lubinets.
We remind you that on September 13, Ukraine returned 49 citizens, of which 23 were women. Also, for the first time in more than a year, the Azov warriors returned from captivity. Yesterday there were 15 fighters, and today there are 23 more.
