Two Ukrainian sailors, members of the crew on ARK TZE and ANUKET AMBER ships return home from the pirates’ captivity.

"We start 2019 with good news: two crew members from ARK TZE and ANUKET AMBER vessels are returning home from the pirate captivity," Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin wrote on Twitter on January 4.

According to him, they are the last sailors of 12 liberated Ukrainians, who were held captive by the pirates from 2018.

In November 2018, the pirates seized ARK TZE and ANUKET AMBER vessels in the waters off the coast of West Africa.
