In a significant development amid the protracted conflict, Russia and Ukraine have successfully completed a substantial prisoner exchange. According to the Russian defense ministry, the exchange saw 307 soldiers returning to their respective homelands.
This event marks a rare instance of cooperation between the two nations, offering a brief respite from the otherwise persistent hostilities. The exchange follows a previous group swap where both sides released a total of 390 combatants and civilians.
The announcement came shortly after an extensive Russian drone and missile assault on Kyiv injured at least 15 individuals, underscoring the volatility in the region. However, no immediate Ukrainian confirmation was available regarding the swap.
