The exchange is currently underway. It can be about hundreds of prisoners, sources of the publication say. Representatives of Ukraine and the Russian Federation begin negotiations on the exchange of prisoners of war from the Kursk region. This was reported by Financial Times. According to the newspaper, sources in Ukrainian intelligence reported to his journalists. Preparation of exchange is now underway.

However, the exact number of Russian soldiers, captured in the Kursk region, is not disclosed by the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But the publication suggests that according to government representatives and the military, it may be about hundreds.

"The seizure of Russian prisoners will probably strengthen the calls of Kiev to return thousands of their soldiers and civilians who were captured during the two half years of Russia's invasion and occupation of large territories of Eastern and Southern Ukraine," the message reads. We will remind that on the evening of August 14 the Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets informed that the Russian side first appealed to Ukraine for the exchange of prisoners.
