139 of those released had been in captivity since 2022, including defenders of Mariupol.
"The first exchange this year. Today, we returned home another 157 Ukrainians - military personnel and civilians. This was a long and intense operation, and we have a worthy result. 139 of those released had been in captivity since 2022," wrote Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, on his Telegram channel.
"Among those returning home are 19 illegally convicted defenders, 15 of whom were sentenced to life imprisonment. Also, defenders of Mariupol. These people went through extremely difficult trials but endured," he added.
"Special thanks to our partners from the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates for their important mediation and assistance. We fight for our own. And we bring our own back. We continue our work. Glory to Ukraine!" wrote Kyrylo Budanov.
