How can a create such a flow chart, where a path returns to an upper element?

One way is using repeat / while cycle and connectors:

@startuml
start
:A;
repeat 
  if (B) then (yes) 
    :D;
    :E;
  else
    if (C) then (yes)
      (A)
      detach
    end if
  end if
repeat while (condition)
(A)
stop
