The UAE mediated the release of almost 250 Russian servicemen

The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Wednesday the release of 248 service members from Ukrainian captivity. Ukraine said that “over 200” of their PoWs have been released in return.

The return of captured personnel was the result of a “complex negotiation process” facilitated by the “humanitarian mediation” of the United Arab Emirates, the Russian military said.

The freed captives are being provided with medical and psychological assistance, and will be transported home by the Russian Aerospace Forces, for treatment and rehabilitation in military medical facilities.

Shortly after the Russian announcement, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky posted on his Telegram channel that “more than 200” Ukrainian servicemen have been set free as well. 

Neither side mentioned the other’s prisoners in their statements. 

Tuesday’s exchange was reportedly the largest of the entire conflict so far. The last public POW swap was in early August 2023, and involved 22 soldiers from each side. In an early December interview with AP, Zelensky said that small, local swaps continued to take place, claiming that Kiev had managed to retrieve about 100 personnel in this fashion.
