Ukrainian officials have confirmed a new prisoner of war swap with Russia.

They say the exchange of captured soldiers and bodies is set to begin next week. The announcement follows Moscow’s accusation that Kyiv had delayed the process.

The planned swap involves 1,000 servicemen from each side and also includes the return of deceased and severely wounded individuals. It is based on agreements reached during peace talks held in Istanbul last week.
