Quote: "Today, our exchange team gained one more positive result. Another 106 soldiers were brought back from Russian captivity; they fought on the Bakhmut front.
It is very important that there was no information about many of these 106 people; they were considered missing. But we found them. And they were brought back home. Including eight officers and 98 soldiers and sergeants".
Так українські військовослужбовці, що тримали оборону на Бахмутському напрямку, сьогодні поверталися з російського полону.
