Ten Ukrainian civilians arrived in Kyiv early on June 29 after years of imprisonment -- five had been held in Russia and five others in Belarus. Some of the returnees -- such as Crimean Tatar politician Nariman Dzhelyal, Greek Catholic priest Bohdan Heleta, and art historian Olena Pekh -- were detained on Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia. Their return home at Zhulyany airport in Kyiv was part of a prisoner swap mediated by the Vatican and the United Arab Emirates.
