Ukraine and Russia exchanged prisoners of war according to the formula 270 for 270. According to this formula, each side was to hand over 270 people to the other, for a total of 540 prisoners of war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> by the head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, Petro Andryuschenko.<\/p>\n

“The exchange has begun. We are waiting,” the message said.<\/p>\n

The day before, Russian media also reported on the preparation of the exchange, which was supposed to take place on October 23.<\/p>\n

Information about the exchange and the number of released Ukrainian soldiers is currently awaited from official representatives of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Subsequently, President Volodymyr Zelensky officially announced<\/a> the return of 270 Ukrainians from Russian captivity. Among those released were servicemen from various units of the Defense Forces and 9 civilians, most of whom had been in captivity since 2022.<\/p>\n

According to Zelensky, most of the released servicemen defended Mariupol. Defenders who fought in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv directions are also returning home. <\/p>\n

Among those released are National Guard members, including Azov servicemen, border guards, territorial defense fighters, servicemen of the Navy, Land Forces, Airborne Assault Forces, and the State Special Transport Service. <\/p>\n

According to the president, many Ukrainians were illegally convicted in Russia. Among those returning home are 5 people who were presumed dead in the Russian terrorist attack in Olenivka in July 2022.<\/p>\n

Zelensky stressed that Ukraine continues to search for all of its citizens who remain in captivity, and thanked everyone working to organize the exchanges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The day before, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Dmytro Lubinets, reported<\/a> that Ukraine had returned 7 civilians to the territory under its control within the framework of agreements on the mutual return of people with Russia.<\/p>\n

According to the Ombudsman, the agreements were reached thanks to the humanitarian channel of communication with the Russian Commissioner for Human Rights, Yana Lantratova. As part of this work, 7 Ukrainians returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine, and another 7 people left for Russia to reunite with their families with the support of the International Committee of the Red Cross.<\/p>\n

Given the health condition of a 90-year-old woman with limited mobility and a 50-year-old Ukrainian woman who suffered a myocardial infarction and stroke and has other diseases, the necessary transportation conditions were provided when organizing their return.<\/p>\n

A young woman and her child were also returned. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the woman was temporarily in Mariupol, but due to the fighting and subsequent occupation of the city, she was unable to return to her family.<\/p>\n

The obstacle to returning to the territory controlled by Ukraine was the processing of the child’s documents. Currently, the mother and child are already at home and need psychological support.<\/p>\n

“We will continue this humanitarian work so that there are more such returns,” said Dmytro Lubinets.<\/p>\n

Earlier, as part of repatriation measures , the bodies of 252 dead were returned to Ukraine<\/a> , which, according to the Russian side, belong to Ukrainian servicemen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
