Ukraine and Russia today exchanged 175 prisoners of war each, ahead of a planned ceasefire to mark Orthodox Easter. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine had brought home 175 servicemen and seven civilians from Russian captivity.
While Russia’s Defence Ministry said Russia took back 175 servicemen and also seven civilians originally from the Kursk region. It added the United Arab Emirates had mediated the exchange.
Despite more than four years of conflict, prisoner exchanges remain one of the few concrete results, emerge from several rounds of US-brokered peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, which remain stalled over the issue of territory.
