Gefangenenaustausch

SS: Russia and Ukraine conducted a major prisoner exchange, releasing 150 captives each in a deal brokered by the UAE. Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed 189 Ukrainians, including defenders of Mariupol and Snake Island, were reunited with their families.

While this marks the 59th exchange since the war began, thousands remain detained, highlighting the ongoing human cost and complexity of negotiations. Russia stated its released troops are receiving medical care and reuniting with families. Despite this milestone, the road ahead remains fraught for those awaiting the return of loved ones.
