The latest prisoner of war swap between Russia and Ukraine has taken place after delays over the weekend as both sides blamed the other for infringements of previous agreements.
The number exchanged was not released but more should follow.
The swap deal was one of the few things agreed at peace talks in Istanbul. Moscow expects to also exchange dead soldiers soon.
Ukraine say those returned to them today are mostly under the age of 25 or seriously wounded.
Meanwhile, in Kyiv firefighting colleagues gathered for the funeral of three responders who died while trying to rescue people after a drone attack on Friday. The cause of the explosion that killed them is still under investigation.
Family and friends said their goodbyes in a district in the west of the capital near to where the deadly incident happened.
The ceremony concluded with fire engines sounding their sirens in honour of the dead men as their coffins were taken away.
