Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed the latest exchange, writing on social media that 84 Ukrainian prisoners of war had been released.

It is known that Russia and Ukraine have carried out several prisoner exchanges this year.

After the third round of peace talks between the two countries in Turkey last month, Russia’s chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said Moscow had proposed a new prisoner swap involving at least 1,200 prisoners from each side. But Medinsky later accused Kiev of delaying the exchange, saying Ukraine had refused to take back about 1,000 soldiers held by Russia.

The latest prisoner swap comes ahead of a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump in Alaska on August 15, which is expected to focus on resolving the Ukraine conflict.
