Overview

• On June 10, Ukraine and Russia traded the first group of prisoners under an 'all-for-all' agreement.
• The swap returned Russian servicemen under 25 in return for an equal number of Ukrainian soldiers.
• The 'all-for-all' deal from Istanbul also mandates exchanging seriously ill and wounded prisoners alongside young soldiers.
• Ukraine’s agency said it handed over the correct prisoner list while Russia’s submissions failed to meet the swap’s criteria.
• Repatriation of fallen servicemen’s bodies remains underway under the UAE-mediated arrangement.
