A shocking reunion unfolded when Nazar Daletskyi, a Ukrainian soldier once declared dead, called his family. In September 2022, his relatives were told he died fighting early in Russia’s invasion. Later, they received a body they believed was Nazar’s and buried him in Lviv, western Ukraine. Months passed until some of his fellow soldiers informed his mother, Nataliya, that Nazar might be alive. On Thursday, this hope turned true as Nazar was freed during a prisoner swap between Ukraine and Russia. His call brought relief and joy to his family after a long wait.
