Ukraine and Russia have been cooperating with prisoner of war exchanges despite the continuing war.

Kyiv said this month it had secured the release of 1,762 men and women so far in prisoner swaps.

These are highly sensitive operations, often taking months to arrange. Under the Geneva Conventions, prisoners of war must not be paraded or exposed to the public.

The BBC has been given rare access to one facility where captured Russian soldiers are held in the west of Ukraine.
