Russia and Ukraine have completed the third and last part of a major exchange of prisoners.
Hundreds of freed Ukrainian servicemen came back home from Russian captivity to hug their families and friends. Some committed to continue to fight Russian troops.
The exchange is part of a three-phased "1,000-for-1,000 deal" thrashed during the Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul. It's the biggest total swap of prisoners since the start of the war in 2022.
Russia's Defense Ministry said each side exchanged 303 soldiers on Sunday last week, following the release of 307 combatants and civilians each on Saturday, and 390 on Friday.
