Ukraine and Russia completed a large-scale prisoner exchange of “1000 for 1000,” three days after the agreement was reached in Istanbul.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the final phase saw the return of 303 Ukrainian prisoners.
This comes amid intensified Russian airstrikes on several Ukrainian cities.
Meanwhile, Russian air defenses shot down a drone heading toward Moscow, and authorities reported a woman killed and a man injured in Bryansk from a drone strike on a civilian vehicle.
