Russia and Ukraine Swap 50 Prisoners in UAE-Mediated Exchange

Russia and Ukraine have successfully completed the first prisoner exchange of 2025, swapping 50 prisoners of war. This significant development, mediated by the UAE, brings a glimmer of hope for dialogue amid the ongoing conflict.

The exchange included Ukrainian defenders of Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant and others with severe injuries, while Russian servicemen are receiving care in Belarus.

Let’s hope this exchange paves the way for more peaceful resolutions in the future. 💙💛
