Ukraine and Russia announced Thursday that 20 soldiers from each camp had been released, for a total of 40, as part of a prisoner swap, the Associated Press reported, with The Guardian reporting.
The Ministry of Defense of Russia reported: “According to the results of today’s negotiation process regarding the exchange, 20 Russian servicemen were returned from the territory of Ukraine controlled by the Kyiv regime.”
Ukraine, in turn, reported that 20 of its soldiers were released from captivity in Olenivka in the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Now they are under the control of the mass media.
Head of the Administration of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak wrote on Telegram on Thursday: “We will take everyone home.”
It will be recalled that last month Ukraine and Russia exchanged about 300 prisoners of war after several other exchanges that took place since the beginning of the conflict.
