Russia’s Defense Ministry says Russia and Ukraine have exchanged 195 prisoners of war each

Russia and Ukraine have exchanged approximately 195 prisoners of war each, marking the first swap since a plane carrying Ukrainian soldiers crashed, resulting in fatalities.
The exchange took place a week after the plane crash, which Russia claimed was caused by Ukraine shooting it down. Ukrainian officials confirmed the swap was scheduled but denied evidence linking the plane crash to the prisoners.
Kyiv is seeking to unlock €50 billion in EU aid, with hopes of a breakthrough during an EU leaders' meeting, aiming to reach an agreement blocked by Hungary last year.
