Russia, Ukraine exchange 90 prisoners each

Russia said on June 25 it had exchanged 90 captive soldiers for an equal number of Ukrainian soldiers in a deal mediated by the United Arab Emirates, RFE reports.

"As a result of the negotiation process, 90 Russian servicemen who were in mortal danger in captivity have been returned from territory controlled by the Kyiv regime. In return, 90 prisoners of war of the Ukrainian armed forces were handed over," Russia's Defense Ministry said on Telegram.

The ministry said the released Russian prisoners returned to Moscow for medical checks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy also confirmed the prisoner swap on Telegram.

“Home is not just words,” Zelenskiy said. “Home is Ukraine. We remember all our people in Russian captivity. We continue to work for the liberation of each and every one.”

Zelenskiy said those exchanged primarily served in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhya.
