Quote from Lubinets: "During the meeting, the issue of the complexity of bringing our servicemen back from captivity was raised because it was the servicemen from Zmiinyi (Snake) who became the legend of this war...

During the emotional conversation, representatives of various departments said that 30 prisoners of war from Zmiinyi (Snake) had already been released from captivity. Also, there are still Ukrainian servicemen in captivity, whom we will definitely release from Russian captivity.

We continue to develop further mechanisms of cooperation with relatives, and together we discuss important issues related to bringing our defenders back."

Details: The Commissioner for Human Rights did not give the number of soldiers from Zmiinyi (Snake) Island who remain in captivity. Lubinets noted that relatives who have any information about Ukrainian servicemen should report it to the competent authorities.
