Most of them were military personnel from different areas, as well as two civilians. In total, 2279 Ukrainians have been returned from Russian captivity during the war. I thank all of those who coordinate this work, such as Budanov, Yermak, Lubinets, Usov, Malyuk, Klymenko, and all of the personnel from the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the Office, the Security Service of Ukraine, and other structures.
