 Ukraine secured the release of 106 captured soldiers in a prisoner exchange with Russia on May 25, Ukrainian authorities said. The soldiers, including eight officers, were captured fighting in the devastated eastern city of Bakhmut that Russia says it has captured, but where Kiev's forces say they still have a small foothold. On Telegram messaging app, Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets shared video showing soldiers in unknown location. Some of them were seen carrying wooden coffin. Ombudsman headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war released more video showing Ukrainian soldiers driving a top infantry fighting vehicle with white flags. President Volodymyr Zelenskyi's chief of staff Andrey Yermak also confirmed the exchange.
