The Defense Ministry in Moscow did not disclose the exact number of POWs involved

Russia and Ukraine have conducted another prisoner exchange, swapping soldiers who are under 25 years of age, Russia's Defense Ministry announced on Monday.

In a statement on it's official Telegram channel, the Defense Ministry reported that the first group of servicemen have been returned from territories controlled by Kiev.

"In exchange, a similar number of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were transferred," the ministry said.

The Russian servicemen are currently receiving necessary psychological and medical assistance in Belarus, according to the ministry, and will soon be returned home for treatment and rehabilitation

Moscow and Kiev had agreed to exchange certain categories of captives, including those who are seriously injured, ill, or are under the age of 25, during last week's round of direct negotiations in Istanbul.
