"The youngest of those returned is 27, the oldest is 62. For 15 defenders, this June will be special not only because of their return home, but also because of their birthday, which they will celebrate with their families for the first time in a long while," he noted.

Lubinets also reported that a father and son are returning home – they defended Ukraine in the same brigade and were taken prisoner one day apart in 2022.

Partners from the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates played a significant role in this release of Ukrainians, as in previous ones, the Ombudsman noted.
