One of the Ukrainian Defenders who returned home is celebrating his 45th birthday today, Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets shared.

"Each Defender released today has serious medical diagnoses and illnesses as a result of wounds and captivity. Many have significant weight loss, dystrophy, ulcers, vision problems, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and digestive problems," Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War said.

Many Defenders were captured during the defense of Mariupol. Most of them were held captive for over three years. The oldest released Defender is 63 years old.
