The reminder action "Captivity Kills" in support of Ukrainian military prisoners who are still being held captive by the Russians took place in the center of Odesa on Deribasovskaya Street on November 10.

Several dozen activists, relatives of prisoners and concerned Odessans came out with posters.

The actions are held regularly at different locations, but most often on the central Deribasovskaya Street. People hold handmade posters with slogans on them: "In captivity, the living envy the dead", "Be the voice of those who were your shield", "AZOV is not at home" and "Bring back the heroes alive".

For example, relatives, military personnel and concerned citizens gathered in Odesa on October 20 to remind of the fate of those still in captivity.

The prisonerexchange that took place on the night of October 19 allowed 95 Ukrainian defenders to return home. This is the 58th prisoner exchange since the beginning of the invasion. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the peculiarity of this exchange is that many Ukrainians who received so-called "sentences" from the aggressor country's judicial system and were "convicted" are returning home: 28 to long sentences and 20 to life imprisonment for defending their land from the aggressor.

Earlier, on September 14, a large prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine took place, and 103 soldiers who had previously been captured by the occupiers returned home. Then 103 soldiers were exchanged - 82 privates and sergeants. 21 officers.

On September 13, 49 heroes finally returned home. Among them are 23 women who were illegally detained by Russia. This is the largest number of women exchanged in recent times.

In August, 22 prisoners were returned to Ukraine. In July, 45 of our prisoners were returned to Ukraine. Among them are soldiers of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, the State Border Guard Service and two civilians. In June, 95 of our people were returned to Ukraine. The list includes soldiers of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, and border guards.
