Footage of Russian military personnel returning from Ukrainian captivity

Russian Ministry of Defense published video footage of young Russian servicemen released from Ukrainian captivity

As reported by TUT.AZ with reference to Ren.tv, the published footage captures the emotional moment when the first group of freed soldiers boards a bus, followed by joyful exclamations of "Hurrah!"

Currently, the returned servicemen, whose age does not exceed 25 years, are on the territory of Belarus. There they are provided with necessary psychological and medical assistance. In the near future, their transportation to the territory of Russia is planned.

The prisoner exchange was carried out on June 9 within the framework of Russian-Ukrainian agreements reached earlier during negotiations in Istanbul. As a result of the exchange, the Ukrainian side received an equivalent number of captured AFU servicemen.
