President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine will make every effort to return every citizen from captivity in Russia. This was stated by the President of Ukraine on Telegram.

"Now there is good news. This is the kind of news we are all waiting for. Today we managed to free another 207 Ukrainians from Russian captivity. 180 privates and sergeants. 27 officers. Almost half of them are defenders of Mariupol. Soldiers of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, units of the State Border Guard Service and the National Police," the President said.


He said that this is the 50th exchange of prisoners since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine has managed to return 3,035 citizens from Russian captivity. 


"We have often heard - at different moments - that something will not work. When you know exactly what to do, everything works out. And even the things that may seem impossible to someone. Ukraine knows how to achieve its goals," Zelensky emphasized.
