Another exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine was successfully. Gremskyj announced that there are efforts to release all captured citizens.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged another group of prisoners of war on Friday. None of the parties stated how many soldiers were handed over to the latest exchange on which Moscow and Kiev agreed on peace negotiations in Istanbul. According to the AFP report, TASR reports this.
During two rounds of negotiations in Turkey, delegations of Russia and Ukraine did not agree on the suspension of fighting in a more than three years of war, and the only agreement that came up with interviews concerned an exchange of approximately 1,000 prisoners – injured, sick, or under 25 years of age – and roughly 6,000 bodies of the fallen on each side.
Prison exchanges continue
“A group of Russian soldiers returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime. In exchange, a group of Ukrainian prisoners of Ukrainian war was handed over,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
Russia published a video of its troops in uniforms and Russian flags around the shoulders or in the hands of the telegram of its troops and the Russia: “Russia, Russia”.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj said that most of the released soldiers were captured in Russia for more than two years. On social networks he posted shots where Ukrainian soldiers with shaved heads and Ukrainian flags are welcomed with their loved ones.
“We are working to ensure the continuation of exchanges until we bring everyone back,” the Ukrainian President wrote on the Network X.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, both parties have made dozens of such exchanges, which are one of the few areas of dialogue between Moscow and Kiev, says AFP.
