Russia said Friday it had swapped 270 prisoners of war and 120 captured civilians with Ukraine in an exchange agreed with Kyiv at talks in Istanbul last week.

"270 Russian servicemen and 120 civilians including peaceful residents of the Kursk region captured by the Ukrainian army were returned... In exchange, 270 Ukrainian prisoners of war and 120 civilians were handed over," the Russian defense ministry said in a statement.
