Ukraine and Russia exchanged prisoners today. The office of the president of Ukraine announced today that 100 Ukrainian soldiers and one civilian have returned to Ukraine.

“We continue to bring back Ukrainians from captivity. Today, 100 of our soldiers and 1 civilian are returning home,” said the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak in a Telegram post.

The citizen is Ivan Samoidiuk, the first deputy mayor of Enerhodar who was held captive for 333 days, according to the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War in Kyiv.

Yermak added that 94 of the freed soldiers “are defenders of Mariupol,” including 63 soldiers who fought at the Azovstal steel plant.

“Their families have been waiting for them for so long. Many of the heroes suffered injuries of varying severity,” he added. “We continue to work and I am grateful to the team and the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War. We’ll bring them all home.”

The Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War in Kyiv also noted that many of the freed soldiers are injured.

“This time, all those released as a result of the exchange are privates and sergeants,” the coordination headquarters said in a statement. “Forty-six of the freed soldiers belong to the Ukrainian Navy, 29 to the State Border Guard, 12 to the National Guard, eight to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and five to the Territorial Defense.”

Russia also announced Thursday that 101 captured military personnel were returned to Russia during an exchange with Ukraine.

“Today, February 16, as a result of the negotiation process, 101 Russian servicemen returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime, who were in mortal danger in captivity,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement, which was published on Telegram.

According to the ministry, the freed soldiers will be taken to Moscow “for treatment and rehabilitation in medical institutions of the Russian Ministry of Defense.”
