Russia and Ukraine carry out a prisoner exchange in which each side releases 185 prisoners of war, for a total of 370, according to both reports. Russia says the exchange is mediated by the United Arab Emirates. The Moscow Times also reports that several civilians are released alongside the POWs as part of the swap. Al Jazeera similarly describes the releases as a major exchange of 185 prisoners by each side and attributes mediation to the UAE. Both accounts present the exchange as a bilateral effort involving formal releases rather than specific details about the individuals involved or the locations of transfer. The reports do not specify the nationalities or identities of the released prisoners or civilians, nor do they provide information on the process for verification or subsequent custody arrangements. Overall, the common elements across the sources are the number of POWs exchanged, the UAE’s role as mediator, and the Moscow Times’ additional mention of civilian releases accompanying the prisoner swap.
