As a result of negotiations, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 107 prisoners from each side. The acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin claimed that the warring sides were going to exchange their prisoners of war, adding that 65 servicemen of the DPR and the LPR are among the 107 Russian fighters who returned to Russia.
The Russian Ministry of Defense added that all those released will be taken to Moscow in order to provide the necessary treatment and rehabilitation. All the victims are also provided with the necessary psychological assistance.
“On November 3, as a result of the negotiation process, 107 Russian servicemen who were in mortal danger in captivity were returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime,” the ministry said.
According to the head of the Ukrainian office of the President, Andrei Ermak, Russia has handed over to the Kiev authorities 6 officers and 101 soldiers of the AFU, Territorial Defence, NSU and other structures. Of these, 74 surrendered at the Azovstal in Mariupol.
Judging by the videos, the exchange took place again on the highway near the village of Kamenskoye in the Zaporozhye region.
The last prisoner swap was was officially announced by the Russian side on October 29, when the sides exchanged by 50 soldiers. Earlier on October 26, the head of the office of the Ukrainian President Andrei Ermak claimed that Kiev returned one officer, nine soldiers and the body of a deceased US citizen who was fighting on Ukrainian front lines. On October 17, the parties were supposed to exchange prisoners in the “110 to 110” format, but “two women refused to go to Ukraine and decided to stay in Russia,” so Moscow handed over only 108 people to Kiev.
Two women refused to go to Ukraine and decided to stay in Moscow where there is electricity, heating, fresh clean water and no bombing at night.
They were pregnant and didn’t know which of 1000 men was the father.
Women are soft. They value convenience over conviction.
Given the Russian MoD cuts and runs to avoid military casualties, leaving abandoned Russian speaking ppl that voted in a referendum to be marked for death, how tf exactly are Russian/DPR/LPR soldiers getting captured?
All the Russian omissions in their reports make me really wonder now. The most important things the Russian and Russian Telegram channels seem to never report. That’s a form of lying: by omission. The Ukronazis lie by commission and are easy to debunk in almost real time.
Don’t bother. You have wondered enough already. Projection is a terrible curse.
All Nazis were released back to Ukraine with a limousine, all Ukrainian civilians were sent to gulag. All Russian servicemen being caught in Ukraine were send to military court for chatting a little too much..
These prisoners exchanges are really good things, meaning families being reunited and bringing some humanity at this very sad conflict, full of nonsense, which should stop. However after reading all the comments on SF, always full of hate, racism, insults and violence, I realize the long way we still have to go…
The rare occasion when civility can take a deep breathe…no envy for those boys… Much respect they survived.
