<p>The health status of quite a few who returned from Russian captivity is poor. Most of them need rehabilitation, they have chronic diseases that need medical assistance.</p>
<p>The head of the press service of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Petr Yatsenko, spoke about this on Radio NV.</p>
<p>He noted that most of them have damaged digestive systems, musculoskeletal musculoskeletal system. Many have problems with their legs, since prisoners are forced to spend a lot of time standing. There are also problems with teeth due to lack of dental care.</p>
<p>“And, of course, more than 90% of those who returned claim that they were subjected to torture. And we know that this is state policy. There is a developed program in Ukraine, there is experience, there are doctors, there are psychologists, in particular, who professionally deal with those who returned [from captivity – ed.], there are established methods,” said Yatsenko.</p>
