Ukrainian Soldier Reunited With Daughter After Three Years of Russian Captivity

In a heartwarming turn of events, a Ukrainian soldier, held captive by Russian forces for three years, has been reunited with his 15-year-old daughter. The girl, whose name is withheld for safety reasons, was returned from temporarily occupied territory in March with the assistance of the Ukrainian Ombudsman's Office. The father, whose identity is also being protected, was released yesterday. A video shows the emotional moment when he was allowed a phone call with his daughter for the first time in years. "It was a very difficult three years," the soldier's mother, Irina, stated in an interview. "But now, we are together again." The Ombudsman's Office has been instrumental in reuniting families separated by the conflict. This successful reunification is a symbol of hope and resilience for many Ukrainian families still affected by the war.
