 Russia's Wagner Private Army on May 25 exchanged prisoners of war with Ukraine and released a video in drone shots showing men in uniform being passed from one side to the other in an unidentified location. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyi's chief of staff said on Thursday his country had secured the release of 106 captured soldiers in a prisoner exchange with Russia. The founder of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigazin, is seen in the video addressing the returning Russian soldiers. It appears that among them are fighters of the Wagner group, officers of the Raskvardia and one fighter of the Akhmet unit. Ukraine's soldiers, including eight officers, were captured fighting in the devastated eastern city of Bakhmet that Russia says it has captured, but where Kiev's forces say they still have a small foothold, Wagner played a key role in Russia's months-long onslaught on the city of Bakhmet where both sides likened the ferocious fighting to a meat grinder.
