Another 185 Ukrainian defenders are returning home today from Russian captivity. One civilian is also returning along with the defenders. They are warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine – privates, sergeants, and officers. They defended our state in Mariupol and at Azovstal, as well as in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kyiv, and Kursk sectors. Among them are those returning after years in Russian captivity, where they had been held since 2022.
I thank everyone who makes this possible: the team working on exchanges and our partners. And special gratitude to the warriors who replenish our exchange fund – who, through their strength and results on the frontline, ensure the return of our people home. The work continues. The return of our people is a constant priority for Ukraine. Every day, we are working to free every Ukrainian man and woman from captivity.
185 Ukrainian defenders are returning home today from Russian captivity!
The youngest is 27 years old, and the oldest is 62. Some of them have been held in Russian captivity since 2022.
Welcome home, heroes! 🇺🇦
⚡️ Russia’s new terrorist tactic
Submunitions from Iskander missiles are increasingly detonating not immediately, but 20–30 minutes after impact.
The apparent goal is to kill rescuers, medics, and civilians who return to the strike site or take part in evacuation efforts.
It seems the occupiers have reached a new level of cruelty.
Do not approach suspicious objects after missile strikes.
#Yalta today: kilometer-long queues at the only gas station.
Years of occupation logistics brilliance finally delivered the authentic #USSR experience.
russians just struck a baby food factory near Kyiv.
Yagotynske for Children — the plant that produces milk and food for Ukrainian infants and small children.
4 killed. More may still be under the rubble.
This isn’t war.
It’s the deliberate killing of civilians who feed Ukrainian babies. Pure evil.
After Ukraine's strikes last week, Russian occupational authorities in Crimea now say that the Dzhankoy railway station is shut down for rail traffic, euphemistically saying that it will now be a "technical station".
This was the main rail logistics hub of the penninsula.
