Ukraine and Russia released almost 200 prisoners of war, with the bodies of two British volunteers also sent back to Ukraine.
Power restored to critical infrastructure in Ukraine's Odesa region after 'significant' accidentUkrainian prisoners of war are seen after a swap in an unknown location of Ukraine on Saturday.
Yermak said the bodies of volunteer aid workers Andrew Bagshaw and Chris Parry had been sent back to Ukraine. Bagshaw, 47, a dual New Zealand-British citizen, and British volunteer Parry, 28, were killed during an attempted humanitarian evacuation in Eastern Ukraine in January, Parry's family said. Yermak wrote on Telegram that the released POWs from Ukraine include troops who held out in Mariupol during Moscow's months-long siege that reduced the southern port city to ruins, as well as guerrilla fighters from the Kherson region and snipers captured during the ongoing fierce battles for the eastern city of Bakhmut.
Another big POWs swap. We managed to get back 116 of our people. Those are the defenders of Mariupol, Kherson partisans, snipers from Bakhmut vicinities, and other heroes of ours. pic.twitter.com/DQFtjPC4E6At least three civilians have been killed in Ukraine over the past 24 hours as Russian forces struck nine regions in the country's south, north and east, according to reports on Ukrainian TV by regional governors on Saturday morning.
The blaze, which erupted earlier in the day, is a new blow to the country's ailing energy grid that has been hammered by Russian strikes for months.
