Released Ukrainian soldiers learn of Kursk invasion for the first time in major prisoner swap

Footage has emerged of some of the Ukrainian soldiers freed in a major prisoner swap with Russia reacting with excitement and disbelief as they learn about the latest developments in the war. Some of the POWs were captured in the early days of the invasion and have had little access to information about how the conflict was developing, according to Belarusian opposition outlet Nexta, which shared the video. Ukraine launched a surprise incursion into the southern border region of Kursk last month, capturing around 500 square miles of Russian territory , which it is mostly still holding, although Russia claims to have recaptured some settlements in recent days. Other photos and videos shared online show the released Ukrainians taking selfies, posing with flags and embracing their fellow servicemen. Read more here: #ukraine #russia #kursk
