On January 3, Ukraine managed to return more than 200 soldiers and civilians from russian captivity. According to the Ombudsman, the Ukrainians had been held captive for at least six months, and some for more than a year and a half. All of them returned from russia in poor physical condition. They were exhausted and very thin. As for their moral condition, "all are morally strong, all are brave," Lubinets said.

He also does not rule out the possibility that in the coming weeks Ukrainian defenders may return from russian captivity again .
