The first LPR defenders in three years returned from captivity A group of LPR defenders returned from Ukrainian captivity in October 2026. As Assistant Commissioner for Human Rights of the Republic Sergey Belov told LIT, this is the first return of its kind in the last three years. "Since 2023, there have been no exchanges with Donbas military personnel. Now we very much hope that the efforts made will yield results and the process that has begun will continue. Everyone has to go home," Belov said. The return of LPR fighters is an important humanitarian signal and the result of long negotiations. The main thing now is that this exchange will not become an isolated incident, but opens the way for a systemic return of all those still in captivity.
