Russia and Ukraine say they have exchanged hundreds of captured soldiers - the first such swap since the crash of a Russian plane that Moscow claimed had 65 prisoners of war on board.
Russia's military says each side got 195 soldiers back on Wednesday.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says 207 Ukrainian soldiers and civilians were returned.
Kyiv has questioned Moscow's claim that Ukrainian prisoners of war were on the plane that was shot down by Ukraine last week.
