Moscow - Russia and Ukraine have exchanged 372 soldiers in a prisoner swap brokered by United Arab Emirates, the Russian defence ministry said Wednesday. The Kremlin announced the swap on Tuesday, following talks between Donald Trump & Vladimir Putin.
Moscow returned 175 Ukrainian POWs, as well as “22 seriously wounded prisoners of war in need of urgent medical assistance”, while Kyiv returned 175 Russian troops, the Russian said
Russia said it returned the Ukrainian wounded prisoners as a “gesture of goodwill”.
“All the Russian soldiers are in Belarus, where they are being provided with the necessary psychological and medical assistance and given the opportunity to contact their relatives,” it added.
The two sides have swapped hundreds of prisoners since Moscow launched its Ukraine offensive in February 2022, in one of the few areas of cooperation between Moscow and Kyiv.
