On 7 August, 22 Ukrainian prisoners of war, including two officers, returned home from Russian captivity, President’s Office Head Andriy Yermak, wrote on Telegram.

The freed soldiers “took part in battles in different areas. There are wounded among the liberated. The oldest of our soldiers is 54 years old, the youngest is 23 years old,” according to him.

“All those released will undergo physical and psychological rehabilitation, reintegration and receive the necessary treatment with the support of medical specialists,” Yermak said.

According to the Security Service of Ukraine, the prisoner is an outcome of the efforts by the Joint Centre for Coordination of Search and Liberation of Prisoners of War, which implemented the decision of the Coordination Staff for the Treatment of PoWs.
