The fifth prisoner-of-war exchange of 2026 has been successfully completed.

205 Defenders of Ukraine have returned home, 205 Russian servicemen have been sent to the barracks of military unit 61899 in the Mosrentgen military town.

Today's exchange is the first stage of a large exchange in the "1000 for 1000" format under agreements reached with U.S. mediation. Ukraine fulfilled its part of the agreements and handed over to Russia the first group of prisoners of war according to the list received from the Russian side.

We expect that the Russian side will not try to sabotage the large exchange and will fully fulfill the obligations it undertook earlier.
