In a stunning turn of events, a Ukrainian soldier, Nazar Daletskyi, who his family believed had been killed in action, made a surprising phone call to his mother, Nataliya, confirming he is alive. In 2023, they had buried what they thought was his body in a village cemetery in western Ukraine. However, Nazar has just made contact after being released from Russian captivity during a recent prisoner swap. His first call, filled with emotion, caught on video, captured the overwhelming joy of his family. Nataliya, overcome with happiness, couldn't contain her tears and urgently asked her son if he was safe.

Nazar, who had returned to the front lines after the Russian invasion in 2022 and had gone missing in May that year, called his mother just days ago, invigorating the promise of hope in a time of despair. After years of uncertainty and heartbreak, his family can finally envision a future together again. In the wake of the initial call, the family is preparing for a reunion and sharing their story as a beacon of hope for others facing similar circumstances in the ongoing conflict.}
