May 26, 2025

Ukraine and Russia have completed a "1,000 for 1,000" prisoner swap after three days of exchanges, amid heavy Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian cities.

- Peter Beaumont

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said yesterday that the scheme's final 303 Ukrainian captives had been returned from Russia in the final stage of the largest-ever such swap between the countries.

"Today, warriors of our Armed Forces, the National Guard, the State Border Guard Service, and the State Special Transport Service are returning home," Zelenskyy said on Telegram.

He wrote on X: "I thank the team that worked around the clock to successfully carry out this exchange. We will definitely bring back every single one of our people from Russian captivity."
