Zelenskyy says 390 Ukrainians returned in prisoner swap with Russia 

The Russian side earlier stated it had exchanged 270 Ukrainian soldiers and 120 civilians for an equal number of Russian detainees.

Zelenskyy stressed the importance of bringing all captives home. “It is very important to return everyone who is in captivity. We are checking every name, information on every person,” he said.

He added, “We will continue our diplomatic work to make such steps possible.”

The agreement, facilitated in Istanbul, represents one of the largest organised exchanges between the two countries since the conflict began.
