Hope Amidst War: 2,400 POWs Freed in Ukraine-Russia Exchange

A significant prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia has taken place, involving at least 1,200 prisoners of war from each side. The exchange, which was agreed upon during talks in Türkiye last week, has been hailed as a positive step in the ongoing conflict. Footage from the exchange shows Ukrainian soldiers being greeted by emotional family members, with one soldier heard saying on a phone call, "Mum, I'm home!" However, the event has also been marred by accusations from both sides. Kyiv and Moscow have accused each other of attempting to undermine the prisoner exchange. The exchange comes after a recent Russian attack on Ukraine, which involved a record number of drones and missiles. Despite the ongoing challenges, the prisoner exchange offers a glimmer of hope for a resolution to the conflict.
