A prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine

Governments in Moscow and Kiev confirmed that the exchange of prisoners is taking place between Russia and Ukraine.

Ukraine President Voludmir Zelinski said that the exchange would be revealed “in several stages” in the coming days, adding that the wounded wounded, had seriously injured and that the soldiers under the age of 25.

“Writing on a telegram,” Zelinski said. “

Russia said that a “similar number” of war prisoners had been returned to Ukraine, although none of the two sides provided an accurate number of people who were exchanged.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said, “The first group of Russian soldiers under the age of 25 was returned from the region controlled by the Kiev regime,” after an agreement. It was reached between the warring countries last week during talks in Türkiye.

As with previous exchanges, Moscow said that the Russian soldiers who were exchanged are receiving psychological and medical assistance in Belarus.

On the Ukrainian side, relatives of war and missing prisoners in the Chirnhif region, near the border with Belarus, gathered to salute the released prisoners, and in many cases, looking for news of others in families.

Last week, Moscow and Kiev accused each other of disrupting the planned return on the bodies of the dead soldiers.

In late May, Russia and Ukraine handed over more than 390 soldiers and civilians in the largest exchange of prisoners since Russia launched a comprehensive invasion in 2022.

Meanwhile, the war continued overnight, as Moscow launched 479 drones in Ukraine, including the western region of Revin, which had been largely successful.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said it had targeted the River Dubno base, describing this as a “revenge strike” in response to Bold drone attacks in Ukraine on Russian airports on June 1.

Russian releases overnight caused damage in many Ukrainian regions, but there were no reports on victims.

Russia recently escalated its attacks on Ukraine, where every week he achieved a new record of drones launched in the country.

For her part, Kiev said that she attacked another Russian air base in the Nizhny Novgorod area, which is 400 miles from the Ukrainian border.

Ukraine said that the basis includes planes that launch non -sound missiles and that it was damaged “two enemy planes.”

It also targeted an electronics factory that Kyiv says that the manufacture of equipment to direct drones and air bombs.
