Latest prisoners of war exchange not yet complete, operation is ongoing – Ukraine's Defence Intelligence

Andrii Yusov, Spokesperson for Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), said that the latest 53rd prisoner-of-war exchange between Ukraine and Russia has not yet been completed, and additional information will be provided later. Source: Andrii Yusov on the national joint 24/7 newscast Quote: "This is not yet the 53rd exchange; it is not over.

The operation is ongoing. Ninety of our defenders have already been brought back as part of this operation. But this is not the latest news.

We do expect to provide additional information soon. The work is ongoing."

Details: According to Andrii Yusov, each exchange of prisoners of war is complicated because Russia disregards international law and the Geneva Conventions. Background: On 25 June, 90 Ukrainian soldiers returned to Ukraine from Russian captivity.

Among them are soldiers of the National Guard, Navy, Armed Forces, Territorial Defence Forces, and Border Guard; defenders of Mariupol and the Chornobyl Plant; those captured on the Kherson, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk fronts.
