Russia and Ukraine have carried out their first prisoner swap since February today.
The exchange, brokered by the United Arab Emirates, saw 75 Ukrainians and 75 Russians released.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy says four of the Ukrainians released were civilians held as prisoners of war.
Ukrainian officials add that 19 were defenders of Snake Island, which became internationally known when a soldier stationed on the rocky outcrop told a Russian warship "go f*** yourself" at the start of the war.
Russia also handed back the bodies of 212 Ukrainians.
you have to wonder ....if some , amnd how many of those 212 died in russ captivity .
