Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced Thursday that his country has successfully secured the release of 200 prisoners of war through a new exchange agreement with Russia. The freed soldiers include military personnel who were taken captive during Russia’s prolonged assault on the port city of Mariupol in the early months of 2022.<\/p>

Speaking on social media platform X, Zelenskiy emphasized his government’s commitment to bringing all captured personnel home. “Every time our people come home, it proves that Ukraine is working to bring everyone back. No one is forgotten,” the Ukrainian leader stated.<\/p>

Zelenskiy also acknowledged international assistance in facilitating the prisoner exchange, specifically recognizing American involvement in the process. “We involve mediators. I am grateful to everyone who helps Ukraine. I thank the United States for its support in making this exchange possible,” he said.<\/p>

The prisoner swap represents the latest in a series of exchanges between the two nations since Russia’s invasion began in February 2022.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
