Russia announces first prisoner exchange with Ukraine

International

Russia announced the first exchange of prisoners between it and Ukraine since the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.

TASS news agency quoted Russia’s Commissioner for Human Rights, Tatiana Moskalkova, as saying in a television interview with RT that “nine Russian soldiers were returned in exchange for the release of the Ukrainian mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov, who was being held by Russian forces, during the first prisoner exchange between the two sides.”

Moskalkova had previously expressed her readiness to work on an exchange of prisoners with the Ukrainian side within any format. She sent  a request to the International Committee of the Red Cross to provide assistance to the Russian prisoners held by the Ukrainian forces.

Russia is continuing its special military operation in Ukraine, which it launched on the  24th  of last February, aimed at protecting the residents of Donbass.
