The last large-scale prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine took place at the end of September. At that time, the Ukrainian authorities announced that 215 Ukrainians and 55 Russians returned to their countries during the exchange of prisoners of war between Ukraine and Russia, including Vladimir Putin’s friend and oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk.

Mainly the defenders of Azovstal from the Azov regiment returned to Ukraine. Saudi Arabia and Turkey brokered the exchange.
