Ukraine and Russia Conduct Major POW Exchange
TL;DR Summary
Ukraine's SBU released a video showing the return of 75 prisoners of war from Russian captivity as part of a May 31 exchange. This marks the first exchange since February, following President Zelensky's instructions. Among the freed are soldiers, civilians, and police officers, many with injuries or disabilities. The Coordination Center for the Treatment of Prisoners of War facilitated the exchange, with significant help from the UAE. Despite this, nearly 2,000 Ukrainian POWs remain in Russian prisons.
