Russia, Ukraine exchange 84 prisoners each on the eve of Trump&Putin summit
Russia and Ukraine swapped 84 prisoners each on Thursday, a day before President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump meet in Alaska for a high-level summit. Kyiv said the freed Ukrainians included long-held captives and "defenders of Mariupol" – a Ukrainian port city that fell to Russian forces in 2022 after a nearly three-month siege.
