  1. Among those returning are defenders from various branches: 130 from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 55 from the National Guard, 38 from the State Border Guard, one from the National Police, and six civilians who were unlawfully detained.

    This group includes individuals with the official status of prisoners of war, confirmed by the International Committee of the Red Cross (182 persons). Additionally, 48 Ukrainian servicemen who were previously considered missing and were labeled as “wanted persons” have also been accounted for in this return.

    The majority of those released are men (225), while five are women. Among them, 213 belong to the ranks and sergeants, with eleven being officers.

    Their safe return home is a source of great joy! Let’s strive to bring everyone back!

  2. Welcome home, heroes! Back from Hell on Earth to live again. I wish you all long and happy lives.

  3. I always wondered in these cases: How informed with respect to the situation on the front will the Ukrainian POWs be. I doubt that the Russians inform them about it, they may even have been lied to.

    It must be a great joy not only to return home after 2 years in captivity, but to know that your country is stronger than ever!

  6. I was slammed the other day for saying great when a Ukrainian took 6 prisoners to add to the exchange fund. Slammed that Russia is no longer doing prisoner swaps yet here we are. Happy New Year I hope you all come home.

  7. No denying that these men and women despite horrific POW conditions remain unbroken, proud of their country and of strong resolve. Many will return to the front lines after their recuperation even more determined to destroy the Russian terrorists. I wonder if the released Russian POW’s are so enthusiastic.

  8. Heroes every single one. Returned from the mouth of hell unbroken.
    Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦

  9. Those few hundred Russian POW’d are back in the front within 2 days.
    The Ukrainian POW’s can go home to their families, for them the war is over. That’s the difference.
    It also shows Ukraine is still far away from a shortage of men while Russia is using every single man available, desperately avoiding the draft of Moscow and St Petersburg youth. (Which is inevitable considering the Russian losses but will also mean that propaganda won’t be able to keep the war away from home much longer)

  10. These men refuse to allow their spirit to be broken. I wonder what the reaction is on the rusky side, before they are sent back to the front lines?

  11. Some of these guys are very emaciated. Surprise, surprise, Russian pigs do not look after their prisoners.

  13. Please I know these are hero’s but be warned rumblings about using brainwashed prisoners to commit acts of terrorism after returned. Nothing confirmed just things around forums on some sketchy servers. I hope each one is truely freed mentally and physically from the Russians. But the brutality and depth of Russian evil can not be underestimated

  15. These guys are probably very pissed off with the Russians…

  16. oh boy what i woudnt give to get the video on the Russians side. in my head im sure they arn’t happy one bit. Putin says you will be back in action within a week.

  17. Ukrainian POWs always look malnourished when released from Russian captivity. Does the Red Cross even have access to Russian prisoner of war camps?
