"Today is a good day for all of us. We are bringing back 150 of our defenders from russian captivity. These are soldiers, sergeants, and officers—warriors of the Navy who were captured in Mariupol and the Zaporizhzhia oblast, Air Force personnel, servicemen of the Air Assault and Ground Forces, National Guard members, border guards, territorial defense fighters, as well as a police officer. They come from different fronts, but they share one thing in common: they fought for Ukraine", - President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on February 5.
According to him, some of these men had been in captivity for more than two years.
