The Ukrainian side has managed to return 14 citizens previously captured by Russia, said Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Iryna Vereschuk.

"Today we have exchanged prisoners. We are returning home 14 of our people: seven military and seven civilians. This exchange is special for me: one of the military women is five months pregnant," Vereschuk wrote on her Telegram channel on Saturday.
