Darinka was two years old when her father, Mykyta Petryk, was captured in Mariupol. On October 18, he turned 33 years old. On his birthday, he returned to Ukraine during the 58th prisoner exchange. His wife, Yuliya, waited for his return for 30 months.
When Mykyta steps off the bus and embraces her husband, Yuliya will say, "I waited for you with every exchange."
During the latest exchange, 95 defenders came home-69 soldiers and sergeants and 26 officers. Among them were Ukrainian soldiers who were illegally sentenced by Russia to long prison terms. The defenders, whom their families had been waiting for two and a half years, are now back home.
hromadske shows how the 58th prisoner exchange took place. The first emotions of the freed prisoners and the embraces of their relatives are featured in the report.
This material was created with the support of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany.
