Ukraine said 230 prisoners, including serving members of the armed forces and border guard, had been freed from Russian captivity.
In exchange, 248 Russians were released by Ukraine in the deal, mediated by the United Arab Emirates.
“Our people are home,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on social media. “Today, we brought back over 200 warriors and civilians from Russian captivity.”
Ukraine said their freed soldiers included seven defenders of Snake Island, a rocky outcrop in the Black Sea.
Others released included National Guardsmen captured at the Chernobyl exclusion zone and soldiers detained during the battle for the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. Six of those released were civilians, according to Kyiv.
Ukraine already posted stuff with them, they didn’t look too bad - yet one can’t really imagine what they must have gone through
I suspect they are feeding them just enough so russia doesnt look too bad in the global stage
