Two sisters brought a chocolate cake from the nearby grocery store and drilled candles: two red heart and neon orange 2 and 5.
They also brought together with other things: Winston smoking, light, a glass of coca-cola, a carton of some chocolates. The things he likes is that it does not have such a long time. Sisters wondered: Will it still be a sense of humor? Would it still be the same?
Then his brother Yurii Dobriievi, as they did in the last 18 months, waiting for about 150 people with about 150 people in the north of Kiev, on Tuesday afternoon.
Buses were coming, 205 Ukrainian captives was reported. 205 Russian prisoners, one of the largest, was exchanged with the 64th prisoner exchange of prisoners of the 64th prison.
“We are very concerned – whether it is really there, or 31, Anastasiia Dobyev, one of the sisters of Mr. Dobyev.” We just want to see it as soon as possible. It is incredibly emotional for us – we have not seen it a year and a half. “
Each person in the parking lot endured in a hole where he fell into a family. Each combination would only come after the years of pain.
A released prisoner would learn that his father could still hug like a small boy. The other knew that his mother would not be there; Died while in prison. Disappointment and joy will be the tears and random epic coincidence. In one of the other recent prisoners on the exchanges, for example, a female soldier, son, merged with a soldier who was taken prisoner. He knew neither the other was caught.
More than 4,550 prisoners of Ukraine, in February 2022, an example of a unique example of success between Russia and Russia. However, many Ukrainians released, the guardianship, reported torture to be forced to read the Russian anthem every day. In the interviews, the prisoners of war repeatedly said that Ukraine has not already existed and forgot their countries.
Thousands of Ukrainian prisoners are still being held in Russian prisons; The more Ukrainian government cannot say.
On this Tuesday afternoon, many people in the parking lot have just hoped. Maybe they would be on a bus they love. If not, maybe one of the past prisoners will recognize a picture. Thus, photos of wrinkled plastic arms were often celebrated in a name, a brigade and disappeared history: Henichesk’s first day of war. The son of the injured in Kherson second day.
“I’ve been waiting for my son so long,” he said. “Yes, we wait for him for so long and waiting for him.”
The latest list of convicts returning to the buses on Tuesday was announced, although Vadeim Kohut was not on it. His mother started the stove.
Ms. Dobrieva and the cake sisters said they were on the list of his brothers. However, Mr. Dobyev did not know that nothing was determined until he went from the bus.
Mr. Dobiyev, a national protective soldier, was missing in the eastern Ukraine in a forest in the Lugansk region of Ukraine. She thought her sisters would have something bad. He wrote to them and his fiancé, saying he loves them, and then silent. They demolished social media posts and closed Mr. Dobiyev’s videos in the subzero temperature and their hands. At least they thought it was alive.
In months, the sisters talked to other released prisoners who saw Mr. Dobriev. The International Red Cross Committee has confirmed that it was captured. The last prisoner learned from the exchange of exchange: returned soldiers knew him. As of April 17, he was a colony in the Sverdlovsk prison.
“Children told us that food in prison is terrible – rotten fish, rotten cabbage,” said Dobiyeva.
Monday, learned to be exchanged in the list of sisters. They caught a train overnight from Odesa to Kiev and took to the meeting point. At 3:22, Ukraine, the Government Office, who took the prisoner swaps, sent a text message to Palamarchuk: “Congratulations! Yuri Dobyev was released from captivity.”
First, two ambulances carrying a soldier who can not walk. They were pulled to the stretchers. “Glory to Ukraine,” people shouted. “Glory to heroes.” Men swinged, unclaimed.
In 17 pm, police can be heard before 5 pm, police, the police, accompanied by four buses. The buses were taken soon and men were poured. Many have already been borne in Ukrainian flags after another government officials met by other government officials near the border. Most were almost the same. In Russian prisons, the eyes of their bodies, their eyes were empty and shaved their heads.
23-year-old Serhiy Laptiev was in captivity for three years. He said he was worthy in his last prison. He was survived by thinking about his mother, who was killed in a message from the Red Cross, but was born before being taken prisoner.
“There was someone to live,” he said. “I didn’t lose heart.”
When crossing the crowd, people surrounded him. Did he see the soldier? Is this? Often, Mr. Lahtiev shaked his head, Ms. Kohut asked him to know his son’s picture.
But his friend Anzhelika Yatyna, his 52-year-old brother Yatyn, this time there was a lucky coincidence. Mr. Laptiev shared a cell with Oleh Oboodovsky in two prison in the last two years: his brother was right. That day is not the first time, not tears. He caught his hand.
“I felt like a part because I didn’t want to leave, and I was part of it,” said Mrs Yatyn. “I feel that he moves into a part of Oleh.”
Then there was a little brother, Mr. Dobiyev, who fell from the bus to his sisters. “All the right girls, I’m home,” he said. Could not eat the cake or chocolates – such as food should be cleaned by the doctor before eating. But again, the sisters lit the candles, so they could make a wish and exploded them.
“What do I feel? I have no words to explain,” he said.
While the sisters were holding the cake, they hugged him on both sides. They kissed and did not leave their cheeks. Ms. Palamarchuk, 38, cried and hit his younger brother’s head. “Let’s call them,” he said. “Everyone is waiting for you.”
First, he called his mother: “Yes, the mother,” he said. “I’m home.” Then he pulled out a pack of a pack, he burned one and laughed.
