In total, since 2022, more than 40,000 Ukrainian citizens have returned to the territory of Ukraine through checkpoints with Russia and Belarus

He notes that it is difficult to say how Ukrainians can return from the territory of Russia or Belarus, as the issue of return depends more on "that" side. He also added that there were no cases where Russians wanted to enter the territory of Ukraine.
