Ukraine has returned home 230 prisoners of war, who were held captive by Russia on Wednesday (January 3) in the first swap for nearly five months between both countries.
The head of Ukraine's military intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, said the United Arab Emirates "directly took part" in organising the exchange, without giving details.Â
