As a result of the measures taken by the Coordination Center on behalf of the President of Ukraine, 95 more Ukrainian servicemen were released from russian captivity.

Among them are 49 soldiers from the Armed Forces, 21 from the National Guard, 10 sailors, seven from the Territorial Defense Forces, five border guards, two from the State Special Transport Service, and one defender from a volunteer local community group.

All of those released this time are men: 88 privates and sergeants, seven officers.

Among our guys who have finally gained their freedom, 23 defended Mariupol (thirteen of them were Azovstal defenders), 41 fought in the Donetsk sector, nine in the Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia sectors, and three in the Kherson and Kharkiv sectors.

Ukraine is grateful to the United Arab Emirates for their assistance and mediation in preparing the exchange.

This is the 54th exchange of prisoners since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. In total, the Coordination Center managed to return 3405 people from russian captivity.

We continue to work hard to ensure that all Ukrainians - both military and civilians - return home as soon as possible, and that the russian federation stops the inhumane treatment and torture of our captives
