Thousands of POWs have been freed in more than 50 individual exchanges throughout the war an area where the two sides have been able to strike rare agreements since Russia invaded in February 2022.

 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia’s defense ministry on Wednesday said that 95 of their soldiers had been freed.

“We continue to bring our people home. Another 95 defenders have been released from Russian captivity,” Zelensky said in a post on Telegram.

 

He said the exchange was mediated by the United Arab Emirates.

 

“As a result of a negotiation process, 95 Russian servicemen have been returned,” Russia’s defense ministry also revealed on Telegram.

 

The ministry shared video images of the freed Russian soldiers smiling and chanting “Glory to Russia” as they were transported by bus to an undisclosed location.

 

Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova shared a video in which the soldiers, interviewed by Russian officials, said they felt well and did not complain of any health problems.

 

In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that 1,348 Russian soldiers were being held in Ukrainian captivity and that Russia had detained 6,465 Ukrainian POWs.

 

Exchanges have taken place periodically throughout the conflict.

 

In a rare instance of direct talks between officials from Moscow and Kyiv, Moskalkova said her office met with a counterpart from Ukraine at the exchange.

 

The first of such meeting took place at an exchange in June, Ukraine’s human rights commissioner Dmytro Lubinets told AFP at the time.

 

The officials discussed “joint humanitarian actions, including those related to the reunification of families”, Moskalkova said.

 

Kyiv accuses Russia of having forcibly deported thousands of Ukrainian children from territory that came under Moscow’s control and is working to secure their return but Moscow said the children were moved for their protection.

 

Several others POWs have been returned, including through deals brokered by Qatar.
