Ukraine secures release of 95 prisoners of war in swap with Russia

Russia and #Ukraine released 190 captured soldiers in the latest #prisoner swap between the two sides on Wednesday.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia’s defence ministry each said 95 of their soldiers had been freed in an exchange mediated by the United Arab Emirates.

“We continue to bring our people home. Another 95 defenders have been released from Russian captivity,” Mr Zelensky said on X, formerly Twitter, adding that the prisoners were from the army, national guard and border guards.

Vladimir Putin said in June that 1,348 Russian soldiers were being held in Ukrainian captivity, and that #Russia had detained 6,465 Ukrainian POWs.

    I have been to Russia and met many Ukrainians
    The Slavs are stoic people
    This is pure garbage
