Flags, Tears, And Kneeling As Ukrainian Soldiers Return From Russian Captivity

Streets were lined for dozens of kilometers by Ukrainians welcoming 95 soldiers who returned home on a convoy of buses following a prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia on July 17. Some are back after being held in harsh conditions as prisoners of war in Russian detention centers for more than two years. Some of them vowed to swiftly return to the Ukrainian armed forces and continue their fight against the Russian invasion.
