National Guardsman who protected Chornobyl NPP returns from captivity

This was reported by the Ministry of Energy, Ukrinform says.

According to the statement, the return of 205 Ukrainian defenders as part of the first stage of the “1000-for-1000” exchange is described as the best gift for Family Day.

“Among them is a National Guardsman who was captured at Chornobyl. Ukraine has returned almost all National Guardsmen from Chornobyl and continues to fight for everyone who is still in Russian captivity,” the ministry said.

As previously reported, as of late April, one Chornobyl NPP employee and five National Guardsmen who were guarding the facility remained in Russian captivity.
