Russia and Ukraine are set to exchange 90 prisoners of war in a deal facilitated by the United Arab Emirates, Bloomberg reports. The Ukraine parliament’s commissioner for human rights Dmytro Lubinets had been reported in local media last week saying the government, with the help of the UAE, was planning “a big” prisoner exchange with Russia soon. Russia and Ukraine have conducted a few prisoner swaps in the 27-month-old war that started when Russia invaded its smaller neighbour.
The Russian Defence Ministry first announced the capture of Urozhaine on Sunday and its latest account said Gerasimov had heard a report from a commander of the “east” group of forces. “Summing up the report, the chief of staff noted the success of the ‘east’ group in liberating the locality of Urozhaine and set new tasks for further activity,” the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
