"Liudmyla Surzhenko, kidnapped by terrorists, has been released from captivity. She is safe now and under the care of doctors in an extremely difficult psychological state. Liudmyla is provided with all the necessary assistance. Appeals to international organizations and courts have been prepared," Groysman wrote on Facebook on Sunday.

He recalled that the militants of the so-called LPR kidnapped Surzhenko, who has a hearing disability since her childhood, at the Stanytsia Luhanska checkpoint on July 13. Liudmyla was severely tortured with pliers by the militants in captivity, her hand was injured. These unpeople tortured the woman into confessing for camera that she "works for the Ukrainian secret services," the prime minister said.

Groysman expressed conviction that this cruelty would be punished, like all other crimes that are being committed in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory.
