"Our young people, the defenders of Mariupol, those who held the defence in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Kyiv regions. The wounded, the seriously ill. Those who were considered missing. Most of them have been in captivity since 2022. And not just the military. Ukraine has also returned civilians," the president said.
Zelenskyy noted that this is the result of the efforts made by a large team of Ukraine.
