In Ukraine, Nataliya Daletskyi experienced the joy of speaking with her son, Nazar, after believing he had died in action in 2023. The family had been informed that a body identified as Nazar's through DNA analysis was recovered from a burned bus in southeastern Ukraine. They held a funeral and mourned his loss. However, months later, a released soldier revealed that Nazar was alive and imprisoned in Russia. After nearly four years, Nazar, now back on Ukrainian soil, contacted his family, confirming his survival and release. The family is now awaiting their reunion and working to remove materials related to Nazar's funeral.
