“Yes, it’s Dad! Can you believe it—I’m home! See you soon,” says Mykola, who has been released from captivity, to his son over the phone. His comrade-in-arms is there to greet him along with his family. They haven’t seen each other for two and a half years. The last time Mykola had brought him some things to the hospital, and the very next day he was taken captive.
“Kolyanych! How are you? You really went through a lot over there! I’m so glad to see you—you made it out. You looked really rough,” Mykola says, hugging his comrade and promising to call the other guys they served with.
Raisa waited nearly two years for her husband. “I’ve already heard his voice—he hasn’t forgotten me. He always used to say to me, ‘Hi, sunshine.’ And he said that just now, but very quietly. I want to talk to him. I don’t know if he read even a single one of my letters,” the woman says.
Vladislav, released from captivity, hugs his mother near the hospital: “Hi, my sweetheart! Don’t cry, everything’s fine—I’m home now!” He says he held on while in captivity because he believed he would be exchanged. He was also very worried about his children and parents.
Residents of border villages and towns greet the buses carrying the returning soldiers. “I’m so happy for them that they’ve finally come home. They think no one is waiting for them, so it’s nice for them to arrive and see their own flags and their loved ones,” says Anna Malkovets, who is welcoming those released from captivity along with her mom and friends.
