"Further 307 Russian soldiers have been released", it says, with the addition that in exchange Russia has released 307 prisoners of war who are being sent home to Ukraine.

The agreement that each side will release approximately 1,000 prisoners of war is one of the few concrete results of the recent peace talks in Istanbul.

The exchange began on Friday, and the hope is that it will be finished by Sunday.
