MOSCOW, March 5 (Reuters) – Russia and Ukraine exchanged 200 prisoners of war on each side on Thursday and will swap another 300 each on Friday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The two sides have periodically traded POWs and returned bodies of dead soldiers – most recently last week – despite a lack of progress towards a peace agreement to end their four-year war.
