Hey there! Did you hear the news? Russia and Ukraine have exchanged prisoners, bringing 150 people back to their homes! 🎉 This is a big deal because it shows a glimmer of hope during a tough time between the two countries.
What Happened?
On Monday, both Russia and Ukraine agreed to swap 150 prisoners each. These people were captured during the ongoing conflict between the two nations. Imagine being away from your family and friends for so long—it must feel amazing to be reunited! ❤️
Who Came Home?
Among those who returned to Ukraine were soldiers who had bravely defended places like the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the city of Mariupol, and Snake Island in the Black Sea. There were even two civilians who came home. Welcome back! 🇺🇦
How Did This Happen?
The United Arab Emirates (or UAE for short) helped make this exchange possible. They acted as mediators, which means they worked with both countries to agree on the swap. This was the 10th time the UAE helped with a prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine! 🌍
Why Is This Important?
Exchanges like this bring hope to many people. They show that even in difficult times, countries can work together to do something good. Let’s hope for more positive news in the future! ✨
