Marine from Mykolaiv region returns from Russian captivity after more than four years

The marine’s mother, Hanna Ivanivna, told a Ukrinform correspondent about this. “When they called me yesterday and told me that Yevhen had returned… We had been waiting for this for so long that I was both overjoyed and in disbelief. I was overwhelmed with emotions that are hard to put into words,” the woman said. His mother added that she never doubted her son’s return. Just two days ago, she sent him a letter—one she had been putting off writing for some reason, perhaps sensing something on a subconscious level. Yevhen Uimanov had been held captive since April 12, 2022.
