According to RIA Novosti, they were met in the regional parliament by relatives and a number of officials.

It is noted that the fighters were captured in December 2022 as a result of a concussion.

"Since our head, Ramzan Akhmatovich, found out about the incident, negotiations on their release have not been stopped for a day. He made every effort to bring our brothers home," said Magomed Daudov, chairman of the Chechen parliament.

The soldiers who returned to the Russian region did not share the details of their treatment in captivity, only one, answering a question about how he was treated, said "so-so".

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that as a result of negotiations with the territory controlled by the Kyiv regime, 106 Russian servicemen who were in mortal danger in captivity were returned.
