[RIA Novosti] As a result of negotiations, 110 Russians were returned from the territory controlled by Kyiv, the Ministry of Defense reported.
"On October 17, as a result of the negotiation process, 110 Russian citizens were returned from the territory controlled by the Kyiv regime, including 72 Russian sailors from civilian ships held by the Kyiv regime since February 2022," the ministry said.
"Two Ukrainian women before the exchange voluntarily refused to return to Ukraine , wishing to remain in the Russian Federation," the ministry said.
It is noted that the exchange took place with the personal participation of the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia Tatyana Moskalkova.
Aircraft of the military transport aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces will deliver the released Russians to Moscow.
“All those released are provided with the necessary medical and psychological assistance. As soon as possible, they will be taken to the medical institutions of the capital for treatment and rehabilitation,” the military department said.
The last large-scale exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine took place at the end of September. 56 people were returned from the territories controlled by Kiev: 50 Russian servicemen and five fighters from Donbass . Also, Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk , who himself actively participated in the exchange of prisoners between the republics of Donbass and Kiev, was handed over to the allied forces.
Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24.
President Vladimir Putin called its goal "the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out "demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine", to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for "bloody crimes against civilians" in Donbass.
The ultimate goal of the operation, according to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, is "the liberation of Donbass and the creation of conditions that would guarantee the security of Russia itself."
