“We also managed to free a US citizen who was helping our people,” Andriy Yermak, head of the presidential office in Kyiv, wrote in the Telegram news service on Wednesday. According to the prisoner coordination staff, the American was arrested in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson for “participating in pro-Ukrainian meetings”. The soldiers fought in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Among them are officers and simple soldiers. In addition, four bodies were returned, it was said. According to information from Kyiv, more than 1,400 Ukrainian prisoners of war have already been exchanged.
The Russian side had reported about the exchange of an orthodox priest and the transfer of the bodies of two pilots of the mercenary group “Wagner” who were killed near Bakhmut. It was initially unclear whether it was the same exchange.
