Quote: "Home is not just a word. Home is Ukraine. Today, 90 more of our people have returned home from Russian captivity.

Soldiers of the National Guard, the Navy, the Army, the territorial defence, border guards. Those who defended Mariupol. Those who defended the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. Those who were on the Kherson, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk fronts."

Details: The President thanked the UAE for its assistance in the liberation of people, and also thanked the Ukrainian team: the chief of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the head of the Office of the President, the head of Security Service of Ukraine, interior minister and Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights. 

The Russians claim that an equal exchange of 90 for 90 took place. 

The coordination headquarters reports that 32 National Guardsmen, 18 border guards, 17 representatives of the Navy, 15 Armed Forces soldiers and 8 territorial defence soldiers returned home.

In particular, 59 defenders of Mariupol were returned, including 52 soldiers who defended the Azovstal steel plant. Five National Guardsmen who guarded the Chornobyl nuclear power plant were released from captivity, too.
