Russia, Ukraine Exchange Prisoners via Trump Deal

Russia and Ukraine exchanged 205 prisoners of war on Friday following a deal brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump. The exchange involved Ukrainian soldiers who had been held captive since 2022, primarily from the battles of Mariupol and Azovstal. This marks the second time the U.S. has facilitated a large-scale prisoner exchange between the two countries since May 2025, despite ongoing attacks.
