Russia and Ukraine swapped 205 prisoners of war each on Friday, part of an agreement linked to a three-day ceasefire earlier this month brokered by US President Donald Trump. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said it was the first step ​in a bigger ‌prisoner of war swap, after Kyiv and Moscow had agreed to swap 1,000 ⁠POWs each under the terms of the agreement.
