200+ Russian-Ukrainian Prisoners Freed in Swap Deal

22.09.22 - Viktor Medvedchuk - arrested after escaping Kiev's arrest himself - has been freed amid an exchange deal involving 215 prisoners.

The opposition leader faced life imprisonment under Zelensky's regime, which charged him for being a traitor and suspended his party Platform For Life.

55 other Russian servicemen have also been freed after facing similar or more serious charges, and another 10 foreigners were part of the deal which Turkish President Erdogan has dubbed "an important step towards peace". #RT
