Today, on 7 January, relatives of the captured defenders of Azovstal rallied in support of the captured defenders of Azovstal in central Kyiv.
They came out to remind the public that Azovstal's defenders are still in Russian captivity. The protesters held banners saying "Captivity kills", "Fight for them as they fought for you", "Free Azov", "You keep silent while my family is being tortured".
"The long-awaited exchange brought back the defenders of Ukraine, including the defenders of Mariupol, but unfortunately, the families of the 12th Azov Special Forces Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine did not see their relatives and their comrades in the exchange lists. Russia is still holding them in the dark dungeons of obscurity," the organisers of the event said.
