Russia awaits Ukraine’s confirmation on a planned exchange of dead fighters, officials say
- On June 9, Russia and Ukraine began a major prisoner exchange in several stages as part of agreements reached in Istanbul on June 2.
- The exchange aims to free over 1,000 prisoners, including the wounded and those under 25, but tensions arose from accusations of delayed repatriation of bodies.
- Ukrainian President Zelensky welcomed the exchanges but accused Russia of playing a 'dirty, political game' by not adhering to agreed humanitarian terms.
- The conflict caused by Russia’s 2022 invasion has lasted three years, displacing millions and devastating eastern and southern Ukraine, while talks have not achieved a ceasefire.
- The prisoner swap shows some progress in humanitarian efforts but ongoing disputes and intensified fighting suggest the overall conflict remains unresolved.
