It is one of the few tangible outcomes from US-brokered peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. About 80,000 Ukrainians have been reported missing since the war began, most of them lost on the frontline or captured. The Guardian filmed the prisoner release in the north of the country; each exchange bringing hope and heartbreak to families still searching for news of their loved ones. Those still waiting held up photographs hoping the returned soldiers might have seen their missing relatives. #ukraine #russia #ukraineprisonerexchange #ukrainepows #ukrainewar
