Russia and Ukraine Each Exchange 84 Prisoners

Russia and Ukraine Each Exchange 84 Prisoners

Ukraine and Russia swapped 84 prisoners each.

This happened on Thursday, just before a meeting between their leaders and the U.S. President.

The prisoners included soldiers and civilians, some of whom had been held for many years.

The exchange was facilitated by the United Arab Emirates.

This is part of ongoing efforts to bring people home despite the ongoing conflict.

Large-scale prisoner exchanges were the main outcomes of peace talks.
