95 Russian military personnel have returned and 95 Ukrainian soldiers have been released in return as a result of a negotiation process, announces the ministry in a post on Telegram.

The Russian soldiers will be taken to Moscow for treatment and rehabilitation at the Defense Ministry's healthcare facilities.

"All released soldiers are provided with necessary medical and psychological assistance," the post reads.
