Russia and Ukraine exchange 103 prisoners of war

On Wednesday, July 19, Russia and Ukraine conducted a prisoner exchange. According to information from the Russian Ministry of Defense, each side received 103 prisoners as part of the agreement.

This exchange marks the first such move since June 26, when negotiations resulted in the exchange of 160 soldiers between the two countries.

The mediation of this exchange was led by the United Arab Emirates, which has already played a significant role in previous negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

Although details about the prisoners were not disclosed, the execution of this exchange is a significant step in the relations between the two conflicting countries.

The exchange aims to facilitate a channel for communication and negotiation from a humanitarian standpoint, allowing both sides to advance in areas of dialogue.
