💬 Russia's High Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova:
On August 26 in Gomel (Republic of Belarus), a 10-for-10 POW exchange took place. In return for the 10 Ukrainian POWs repatriated on August 24, the Ukrainian side returned 10 Russian servicemen.
☝️ It is a matter of principle for us that every Russian serviceman held in captivity knows that he has not been forgotten, that he is awaited at home, and that efforts to secure his return continue.
We thank everyone involved in this humanitarian mission. Special gratitude from the servicemen’s families and loved ones goes to President Vladimir Putin, Russia's Defence Ministry and the relevant agencies.
🤝 We also express our sincere appreciation to the Republic of Belarus for its assistance in bringing our servicemen home.
