In a significant development, Russia and Ukraine have completed their largest prisoner exchange to date, trading 1,000 prisoners each amid heightened tensions and ongoing conflict. This major swap coincided with a large-scale missile and drone attack by Moscow, which resulted in multiple casualties in Ukraine. The exchange, described as a turning point in the evolving dynamics of POW negotiations, has seen hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians return home. As the two nations navigate this complex situation, Russian officials have indicated plans to present a draft peace accord following the exchange, while both sides grapple with the repercussions of the recent military aggression.
