Putin declared these regions an integral part of the Russian Federation.
– Thanks to everyone who enabled the return of our people. I am particularly grateful to the united Arab Emirates for their mediation. In total, from the beginning of the comprehensive war, 4 552 people and warriors and civilians were successfully returned home from Russian captivity. We remember all those who remained in captivity. We are looking for everyone who could be there. We have to bring them all home, ”Green announced.
Although Putin said in June 2024. He said that Russia had captured 6465 Ukrainian soldiers, Moscow categorically refused to report how exactly Ukrainian prisoners are in its prisons. He does not want to cooperate with international observers or the Red Cross.
Based on the records of the Ukrainian government, testimonies of liberated prisoners and partial figures given by Russian officials, it is believed that at least 8,000 Ukrainian war prisoners are in Russian prisons, writes United24media.
