Ukraine and Russia have completed their 54th prisoner of war exchange since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The recent swap involved 95 prisoners from each side, as confirmed by officials from both countries. The exchange, facilitated by the United Arab Emirates, took place following extensive preparation and diplomacy efforts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared images of the released servicemen, many of whom had been held captive for over two years. The prisoners, including civilians and military personnel, were captured during various conflicts in regions such as Mariupol and Luhansk.
