Families overcome with emotion as Ukrainian POWs return home in prisoner swap after years in Russian

Families were overcome with emotion as Ukrainian prisoners of war return home after years in Russian captivity.
Kyiv brought home 189 former captives after being released in a major swap between their country and Russia.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky said the returning Ukrainians included soldiers, sergeants, and officers from different frontline areas, and also two civilians who had been captured in the southern port of Mariupol taken by the Russian troops in 2022.
Zelensky thanked the United Arab Emirates and other partners for facilitating the swap.
Russia said in a statement that 150 prisoners of war had been released on Belarusian territory and would be transferred back home.

God bless you all brave souls ❤ My Finnish father was 1940 in the winter war against Russia. He stepped on a mine which blew off his foot. All thru my childhood I have seen first hand what war can do to a person. Not only missing body parts, but also the mental part. Countless night I have woke by his screams of terror. He refused to talk to us about his experienses, but we heard him and his fellow comrades tell each other stories and talks. I don’t have to wonder why so many turn to alkohol, violance or commit suicide. The question is rather: why not? Now these soliders home coming are taking them on a totally foreign jurney with PTSD, horrible memories, nightmares, everlasting injuries. Please, tell them to talk to each other as some kind of theraphy, because their families can’t deal with it, they don’t want to put their families thru more pain. Only a solider understands a solider. You All have been so damn brave, shown the rest of us how fragile a country is. One day is peace, the next it can be invaded by idiots. A brave man can cry and morn. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 🎉 Wishing you all a happy new year from Finland 🇫🇮

As a Staunch Hindu and hard core Russian Supporter Respected President Putin, I wish to express my respectful disagreement with the recent decision to release Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs). With due respect, I believe this decision could prove to be a strategic miscalculation. These individuals are likely to regroup and pose renewed threats to Russia's interests and security. It is difficult to understand how trust can be placed in Ukrainians, especially under their current leadership, which has been strongly influenced by a comedian-turned-president and backed by untrustworthy Western nations. As an Indian, I personally find it challenging to extend any belief or trust to Ukraine under the present circumstances. In my opinion, these POWs should not be released until the conflict is conclusively resolved. Wars are not a time for humanitarian leniency, and in the current scenario, Ukrainian POWs do not deserve freedom. This decision appears to be a very significant mistake and could have grave consequences for Russia in the future. As an Indian and a staunch supporter of Russia, I care deeply for our historic and enduring friendship. Unlike the USA and the Western nations, who have consistently acted against India's interests, Russia has always been our true ally. Most 99.99% Indians, myself included, do not trust the United States, its people, or the Western world. They have never been India's friends but rather adversaries.

Unfortunately, Russia as we call it today has been interfering with the Ukrainian people since the 1200's AD starting with the Mongolian hoard wanting Kiev. To anybody who thinks Russians are the same as Ukrainians, Russians come from the Mongolian hoard and Ukrainians come from western and southern European mix. We are a different people!!!

​@Zero4Infinitives Deine Worte klingen so, als hätten hier zwei Feinde gleichzeitig Krieg miteinander begonnen. Das ist doch einfach nicht die Wahrheit. Hier hat nur ein sadistischer Mann teuflischen Hass im Herzen und der versucht, einen Nachbarstaat mit seinen Bewohnern brutal zu vernichten. Kann es da wundern, wenn die Angegriffenen einen Schock und Angst um ihr Leben bekommen haben, und versuchen, dieses Ungeheuer aus ihrer Heimat zu vertreiben??? Ich kann nicht begreifen, wie in diesem Angriffskrieg davon gesprochen werden kann, dass zwei gleichwertige Feinde Freude daran hätten, sich gegenseitig zu töten. Ehrlich gesagt, macht es Angst zu wissen, wie viele Menschen nicht zwischen einem teuflischen Angriff und der Verteidigung unterscheiden können. Das bedeutet, daß Menschen kein moralisches Gewissen haben. Kann es schlimmeres auf Erden geben???

[@seandoherty4236]

I hope these guys have unlimited counseling services open to them. Otherwise, the PTSDfrom being in confinement at the hands of the Russians will ruin their remaining days. The stuff they suffered there...

[@JulieSmith-x8g]

They have about 6 weeks treatment in a facility straight off and support if needed after that, they are well looked after. The russains however, don't get to see family and are sent back to front line, after interrogation, and have to continue their time.

Bot statement

[@bittoochatterjee2661]

As a Staunch Hindu and hard core Russian Supporter Respected President Putin, I wish to express my respectful disagreement with the recent decision to release Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs). With due respect, I believe this decision could prove to be a strategic miscalculation. These individuals are likely to regroup and pose renewed threats to Russia's interests and security. It is difficult to understand how trust can be placed in Ukrainians, especially under their current leadership, which has been strongly influenced by a comedian-turned-president and backed by untrustworthy Western nations. As an Indian, I personally find it challenging to extend any belief or trust to Ukraine under the present circumstances. In my opinion, these POWs should not be released until the conflict is conclusively resolved. Wars are not a time for humanitarian leniency, and in the current scenario, Ukrainian POWs do not deserve freedom. This decision appears to be a very significant mistake and could have grave consequences for Russia in the future. As an Indian and a staunch supporter of Russia, I care deeply for our historic and enduring friendship. Unlike the USA and the Western nations, who have consistently acted against India's interests, Russia has always been our true ally. Most 99.99% Indians, myself included, do not trust the United States, its people, or the Western world. They have never been India's friends but rather adversaries. The United States, its people, or the Western world and its People 🤢🤢🤮🤮 Nothing but ENEMY OF INDIA. I DON'T TRUST THEM AT ALL . INDIA & INDIANS ALWAYS BY THE SIDE OF RUSSIA👍👍👌👌✔✔✌✌❤❤💕💕😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤ My cherished hero, the honourable President Putin The great nation of Russia The resilient Russian people The brave Russian soldiers Glory to Russia, and may God continue to bless this incredible nation. Glory to the honourable President Putin, and may he always be protected. Glory to the brave Russian soldiers, and may they find strength and victory.❤❤💕💕😘😘😍😍😊😊 With heartfelt love and admiration for Mr. Putin, the brave Russian soldiers, and the people of Russia: 👍👍👌👌✔✔✌✌❤❤💕💕😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤ Wishing Mr. Putin, the Russian soldiers, and all the people of Russia a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the year 2025 bring absolute victory, prosperity, and success to Russia, its courageous leaders, and its resilient citizens. 👍👍👌👌✔✔✌✌❤❤💕💕😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤ I also offer my heartfelt prayers for the souls of the courageous Russian soldiers 😢😢😢😢😭😭🙏🙏 who have made the ultimate sacrifice-may they rest in eternal peace.😢😢😢😢😭😭🙏🙏 Warm regards and best wishes from New Delhi, India.💞🇮🇳🤝💞🇷🇺🔥.
