Russia has released the wounded Ukrainian soldiers captured by the Russian forces during the heavy fighting in Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts of eastern Ukraine. The today’s list of released Ukrainian POWs include those Ukrainian soldiers, who defended Mariupol (the strategic Ukrainian port city on the Sea of Azov in southeastern Ukraine that was occupied by Russia in May 2022). In the exchange, 50 Russian POWs have returned to Russia.
