Ukraine and Russia report that a larger prisoner exchange was carried out on Tuesday. 90 prisoners of war from each side have been released.

The countries have carried out over 50 prisoner exchanges since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The prisoner exchange was negotiated by the United Arab Emirates.

"As promised, we are working to bring everyone back home to Ukraine from Russian captivity. Every single one of them," says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj on Telegram.
