Andre Yermak, a presidential advisor for Ukraine, said, “Today there has been a large-scale exchange for prisoners of war. It is a truly influential and remarkable exchange: We have liberated 108 women from families.”
Folodimir Zellinski, the president of Ukraine, stated in his daily address on Monday that “96 (one of the detainees who were included in the swap procedure) are militaryes, between 37 who were evacuated from Azovstal, and the remaining are civil ladies.”
”
Thanking “all those who contributed to this victory,” Zellinski emphasised that “the more Russian captives we have, the more we can free our heroes. ”
Mothers and daughters were reportedly held together with other pertinent ladies, according to Yermak, who also stated that 37 of them turned themselves in at the Azovstal steel complex in Mariool.
Pictures published by Yermak dozens of women, some of whom wear coats and military bridges, were shining from white buses.
Yermak explained that some of these women are liberated by the separatists loyal to Russia in eastern Ukraine since 2019 because of their “supportive positions of Ukraine. ”
The Russian Ministry of Defense, for its part, verified the exchange process’s occurrence and noted that it had recovered 100 persons, including “72 sailors from Russian civilian ships that Kyiv had detained since February 2022.
