Ukraine and Russia exchanged 205 prisoners of war each, as announced by US President Donald Trump. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that most Ukrainians released had been in captivity since 2022. This exchange is part of a larger plan for a 1,000-for-1,000 swap. The Russian defense ministry stated that the returned servicemen are receiving assistance in Belarus. The exchanges are the only significant outcome of stalled diplomatic efforts to end the war, with ongoing accusations of ceasefire violations.
