In a significant development, Ukraine and Russia have begun their largest prisoner-of-war exchange, trading 390 prisoners as part of a larger agreement that will see another batch exchanged on Saturday and Sunday. This swap is the result of direct talks between the two countries, facilitated by US President Donald Trump. The exchange was initially kept secret to ensure the safety of the first 270 soldiers and 120 civilians who were set to be swapped near Belarus’ border.
