The Ministry of Defense reported that the family of Ukrainian soldier Nazar Daletsky, released from Russian captivity, should not return the payments received to the state.

This is stated in the official statement of the department.

As noted, the Ministry of Defense has no reason to review the decision to pay the funds, and does not intend to encourage their return to the state.
