The condition of his health is described as 'satisfactory.'

The correct name of the freed Aidar Battalion figher was later specified by Budyk on his Facebook page.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Commander of the 90th Assault Battalion of the 81st Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleh Kuzminykh, who was captured by Russian-backed militants on January 20, 2015, when he was defending the Donetsk airport, was released from captivity on May 22, 2015.

According to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, work is under way to facilitate the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war.
