“She is back home as a result of yesterday’s prisoner exchange,” said Vereshchuk. “A brave and resilient woman. A true leader of her community. Yesterday I had the honor of meeting Ms. Havrylina in person.”

Nine evacuation corridors have been agreed for Sunday in southern and eastern Ukraine.

One corridor will operate in the Donetsk region from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia, by private vehicle only, she said.

Three other corridors have been established to the Zaporizhzhia region from Berdiansk, Tokmak and Energodar, running by both bus and private transport, Vereshchuk said.
