Footage shows the true emotions of Ukraine's defenders
On April 10, Ukraine returned home another 100 of its military, who had been defending Mariupol and Gostomel. The State Border Guard Service showed emotional footage of Ukrainians released from Russian captivity.
The video was published on Telegram. The return from captivity is a real holiday for the families of the military and an event for every Ukrainian.
"Yesterday, 100 of our military returned to their homeland, including 21 border guards. Watch our video to see how the defenders were greeted at home. And we are looking forward to seeing all those who are still in captivity," the SBGS said.
The footage shows the real emotions of the defenders of Ukraine, who, after a long time, set foot on their native land for the first time. Some are overjoyed, others are confused and not fully aware of what is happening, and still others are crying, hugging their loved ones and friends. However, all of them are absolutely happy.
Immediately after the exchange, the Ukrainian soldiers called their families and, without holding back tears, informed them that they were in Ukraine.
"Mum! Everything is fine, I'm back, alive and well. Everything is fine, mummy," said one of the exchanged defenders.
Another thanked everyone who worked on this exchange and noted that the military had been waiting for this day.
"We have been waiting for this day. It's a great feeling," he added.
It should be noted that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the release of 100 Ukrainian defenders from Russian captivity. He noted that this gave 100 Ukrainian families real joy on the eve of Easter.
As part of a large-scale prisoner exchange, Azovstal defender Valeria "Nava" Karpilenko was released from Russian captivity on April 10. A poet from Mariupol, she joined the Azov regiment to be with her boyfriend, border guard Andriy Subbotin.
As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, the Ukrainian soldier called his mother immediately after setting foot on Ukrainian soil after a long time in captivity. He could not hold back his tears when he heard the voice of his loved one.
