Azov Fighter Sentenced To 29 Years By Russia Returns From Captivity
“More wonderful news for the Lviv region. During the latest prisoner exchange, Taras Zvarychuk, a resident of Drohobych who defended Ukraine as part of the Azov Regiment, returned home,” the post reads.
According to the Drohobych City Council, Zvarychuk was born in that city on May 11, 1994.
It is noted that he was among the first volunteers to stand up for his homeland immediately after the Revolution of Dignity and defended his homeland as part of the Azov Regiment.
According to the city council, Zvarychuk was taken prisoner on May 16, 2022. The Russians sentenced him to 25 years in prison, later increasing the term to 29 years-allegedly for terrorism.
“Taras tried for a long time to defend the truth and filed an appeal, but to no avail,” city council officials said.
For a long time, he was held in pretrial detention centers in Rostov, Samara, and later in Novosibirsk.
