Two more Ukrainian soldiers freed from captivity

Two more Ukrainian soldiers have been rescued from terrorist captivity. Successful negotiations were conducted by Kraina Defence Foundation negotiator Olga Konstantinova. The freed fighters are Igor Panchyshyn and Mykola Valebnyi of the 8th National Guard Battalion, natives of Lviv and Lviv Oblast. This was announced by former Deputy Dnipropetrovsk Governor Hennadiy Korban.

«Пока СБУшные воротилы устраивают политические игрища в вопросе обмена пленными, находятся люди которые вытягивают наших ребят. Вчера переговорщица Фонда Обороны Краины Ольга Константинова выпросила без обмена двух парней из 8-го батальона Нацгвардии. Она сделала это вопреки всякой логике. Это Игорь Панчишин и Николай Валебный - оба уроженцы Львова и Львовской области. Один повар, другой шахтер. Вобщем, маленькая хрупкая девушка привезла еще две пары живых глаз» (While the SBU bigwigs are staging political games over the prisoner exchange issue, there are people who are pulling our guys out. Yesterday, Kraina Defence Foundation negotiator Olga Konstantinova managed to get two guys from the 8th National Guard Battalion released without an exchange. She did this against all logic. These are Igor Panchyshyn and Mykola Valebnyi - both natives of Lviv and Lviv Oblast. One is a cook, the other a miner. In short, a small, fragile girl brought back another pair of living eyes), - Korban wrote on his Facebook page.

In addition, active negotiations have been underway in recent days regarding the exchange of Russian GRU special forces operatives detained several days ago in Luhansk Oblast.
