Russia has conducted a prisoner exchange with Ukraine finalized during a telephone call between US President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin, Russia's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.
It said in a statement that 175 Ukrainian soldiers had been swapped for 175 Russian servicemen.
Moscow had handed over an additional 22 heavily wounded Ukrainian prisoners in need of urgent medical care in what it described as a goodwill gesture.
