According to Gerashchenko, all will be provided with the necessary medical assistance, in particular, dental services.

In addition, she recalled that the Ukrainian Social Policy Ministry was working on all technical details, and in the near future, those released from captivity would receive one-time cash assistance.

"A team of psychologists led by Vadym Svyrydenko is also actively working with those liberated and their families," Gerashchenko added.

"Meanwhile, we are working to implement the second stage of the release as soon as possible," she said.
