Russia and Ukraine have exchanged hundreds of prisoners of war in a deal brokered by the United Arab Emirates.
The Russian defence ministry said it had swapped 150 Ukrainian soldiers held captive for an equal number of Russian troops.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy said 189 Ukrainians had returned home.
He added that those released included "defenders of Azovstal and Mariupol", the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and Snake Island.
