Ukraine achieved a separate format for the return of seriously ill and wounded prisoners, as a result of which 25 Ukrainians were returned.
Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets and the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War (KSHPPV) reported this today, January 15, on their pages on social networks.
The seriously wounded and seriously ill Defenders, who had spent a long time in captivity, returned home. Among those returned is also a civilian. The infidels captured him in the Kyiv region and held him illegally,” Lubinets said.
Next priority is to provide the returnees with the necessary range of medical care, operations and rehabilitation,” he added.
Dismissed military personnel – soldiers, sailors and sergeants – defended the Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Donetsk directions, the city of Mariupol, in particular Azovstal.
Representatives of the National Guard, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (including the TrO), the Navy, and the State Border Service of Ukraine are returning home and will receive proper treatment and rehabilitation,” the KSHPT said. “We were also able to pick up wounded Ukrainian military personnel from the Kursk region.
The youngest fired is 24 years old, the oldest is 60.
It is noted that the Ukrainians released from captivity today suffered a lot without proper medical care and with inhumane treatment in hostile captivity.
The wounded have loss of vision, amputation of limbs, complex ball wounds and consequences of mine-explosive injuries. Among the diseases are tuberculosis, oncology, gangrene, which indicates the conditions in which our people have to live,” said the KSHPPV. — According to the Third Geneva Convention, it is the seriously ill and seriously wounded who should be returned first.
The United Arab Emirates provided assistance in organizing the prisoner exchange.
