On February 5, the 71st prisoner exchange took place – the third one documented by the War Museum. 157 Ukrainians returned home, 139 of whom had been held in Russian captivity since 2022.
The Museum is sincerely grateful to the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War for providing the opportunity to record these historic events.
We are sharing touching moments captured by the museum photographer Roman Pupenko on this emotional day filled with hope, faith in the return of the dearest ones, and the joy of reunited families.
