Delivering flowers to my wife from captivity. The story of the defender of 'Azovstal' who returned home.


In captivity of the Russians, Mariupol defender Vyacheslav Kuchkovsky managed to call his wife and congratulate her on her birthday, also informing her about his condition.
In May 2022, Vyacheslav and his unit were captured, but his relatives managed to leave the city. He was worried about their safety during the defense.
In support of Vyacheslav, a huge bouquet of daisies was delivered to his wife Valeria by one of his comrades, although he could not hide the phone.
In February 2024, Vyacheslav returned from captivity and finally managed to meet his wife and son. He underwent physical changes but remained optimistic and believes in victory.
Vladislav Andriyanov, the boyfriend of a police officer from Mariupol, who was in captivity with Vyacheslav at 'Azovstal', also returned from captivity. A total of 95 prisoners of war were successfully brought out, including fighters from the 'Azov' brigade, which was a great boost for the 12th brigade that defended Mariupol in 2022.
