Russia and Ukraine Exchange 270 Prisoners of War Each in Latest Swap
Russia and Ukraine exchanged 270 prisoners of war each in a recent swap, marking one of the ongoing contacts between the two countries amid the conflict. Among those returned were five Ukrainians previously believed killed in an explosion at a detention facility in Olenivka, which Ukraine alleges was a Russian war crime, while Russia denies responsibility. Freed Russian servicemen are currently in Belarus for medical and psychological care before returning to Russia. Thousands have been exchanged since the war began in February 2022.
