Russia and Ukraine exchanged 307 POWs from each country on Saturday, the Russian defence ministry said on the second day of the biggest prisoner swap in more than three years of conflict. “Another 307 members of the Russian military were returned from territory controlled by the Kyiv regime. In exchange, 307 Ukrainian prisoners of war were transferred over,” the ministry said in a statement. It said the Russian POWs would receive psychological and medical help in Belarus before travelling to Russia. Both sides received 390 people in the first stage on Friday and are expected to exchange 1,000 each in total.
