The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that Russia and Ukraine exchanged more prisoners of war today, Tuesday, without specifying their number.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged prisoners of war under 25 years old on Monday as a result of direct talks between the two sides in Istanbul on June 2.
The Defense Ministry stated that the released Russians in the latest exchange are currently in Belarus, bordering both warring countries, and will return to Russia for medical treatment and rehabilitation.
The Kremlin had previously stated that Russia had expressed readiness days ago to begin handing over the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers killed in the war, but Kyiv is still discussing the details.
The delivery of thousands of war dead was also a result of the Istanbul talks, which resumed last month after a hiatus of over three years, but no progress has been made towards a ceasefire.
