Human rights activist Maksym, whose detention we covered in 2023, returned home in October as part of a new POW exchange. But it isn’t always easy for Ukrainians to reintegrate after captivity.
My word this was a hard read but worth it. Again, I am so thankful to you Tim for brining life and light to this war that the world seems to have forgotten about. Thank you.
I will hope for Maksym and all freed soldiers to continue to heal from the wounds in the mind. Not easy I know. His speaking about it is I believe the best medicine, but it takes time (and a lot of open conversation). Again my wish is for Ukraine to achieve a victory and sustainable peace in '25.
Thank you all again for keeping the essential story alive.
🫂 Unfortunately we have a lot of history to tell us the mental struggles of those who return from captivity in wars 😢 so I hope that knowledge can help families & counsellors to help them cope & manage the transition 💙💛🙏 So happy to have good news about Maksym after reading his story & the anxiety of his parents what seems so long ago in this terrible war 🫂
