Russia’s Foreign Ministry said that Russia and Ukraine exchanged 200 prisoners of war each today and plan to swap another 300 prisoners tomorrow.
Despite little progress toward a peace agreement to end the four-year conflict, the two countries have continued to carry out periodic exchanges of prisoners of war and return the bodies of fallen soldiers.
Russia agreed to release two Ukrainian-Hungarian dual nationals captured while fighting for Ukraine, after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán appealed for their release during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the US-Israeli war on Iran has put a pause on trilateral peace talks to end the war in Ukraine.
