"We have returned the people who were captured at the Chornobyl NPP, as well as the defenders of Mariupol, the guys from the Donetsk direction, from the Bakhmut area, as well as from Kyiv Oblast, Chernihiv Oblast, Kherson Oblast, and other regions where fighting was ongoing," Yermak said adding "This is not the final exchange. Our mission is to return all our people, and we will accomplish this"
