Additionally, the Coordination Center began officially supporting civilian families, a Coordination Center Council was formed, and a public council is being set up. Ukraine also extended rehabilitation and support for those freed from Russian captivity, alongside other important changes.

As of late October 2024, Ukraine has returned the bodies of 184 people who died in Russian captivity, including 169 military personnel and 15 civilians.
