Russia and Ukraine have conducted another prisoner exchange, swapping soldiers who are under 25 years of age, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced on Monday.
In a statement on it’s official Telegram channel, the Defense Ministry reported that the first group of servicemen have been returned from territories controlled by Kiev.
”In exchange, a similar number of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were transferred,” the ministry said.
