"Ukrainian Officer Freed After Two Years of Russian Captivity"

Ukrainian police officer Mariana Checheliuk, 24, was freed last week after two years of Russian captivity where she endured starvation, beatings, and abuse. She was released during the 52nd prisoner of war exchange between Kyiv and Moscow, which saw 75 Ukrainians and 75 Russians swapped. Checheliuk's health deteriorated significantly during her imprisonment, but she resisted attempts by Moscow to defect.
