Moscow and Kyiv say their respective soldiers are returning home without specifying number of released prisoners.
Russia and Ukraine have exchanged prisoners of war as the two countries continue to trade attacks, despite diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
Officials in Moscow and Kyiv confirmed the swap on Thursday but did not disclose the number of prisoners released.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X that the “warriors of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service” were returning home.
“Most of them had been in captivity since 2022. We are doing everything possible to find each person, to verify the information on every name,” he said.
