Russia and Ukraine Conduct Largest Prisoner Swap Since War Began

Russia and Ukraine have carried out their largest prisoner exchange since the start of the full-scale invasion over three years ago.

Hundreds of prisoners were swapped between the two countries, marking a significant humanitarian gesture amid ongoing conflict. The exchange was mediated by the United Arab Emirates and resulted in the return of 277 Ukrainian soldiers. Both sides have confirmed the successful completion of the swap.

This development is seen as a rare moment of cooperation during a prolonged and brutal war.
