Ukraine handed over a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin in exchange for hundreds of prisoners of war including many captured in a landmark battle, a swap that outraged pro-Kremlin propagandists

“It is not a pity to give Medvedchuk in exchange for real warriors,” Zelenskiy said. Those handed over to Russia included “people who fought against Ukraine. And those who betrayed Ukraine,” he said.

Russian war bloggers and nationalist commentators reacted furiously to the release of Azov fighters that state television and Kremlin officials have sought to cast as “Nazis” for months in efforts to justify Putin’s invasion. Many highlighted the timing of the swap on the same day asUkraine’s Offensive Is Pushing Russia Back—And Raising the Risks of Escalation

The prisoner exchange with Ukraine is “unbelievable stupidity,” Igor Girkin, a former Russian intelligence colonel who became a commander of pro-Moscow separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014, said on his Telegram channel that has more than 600,000 followers. The release of Azov commanders amounted to “treachery” by officials, making a mockery of the call-up to fight for Russia.

Well they're not worried since all of Putin rich allies seem to love walking out of hospital windows, or walking off 10 story buildings. They don't think this ally will survive so they don't really consider they lost anything meaningful.

Worth it.

Good news!

Could they look anymore like actors

The beginning of the end of Putin!

These people are common not the person it is neagative exchange.ukraine will coest

Completely inaccurate and misleading tweet. He was one of many and there were numerous stipulations about the war criminals that Russia returned.

You must thanks to president ERDOGAN! At least you will show some respect!

The American media smears Trump, the left has incited the American people to elect an incompetent president for their own rights, and the world's authoritarianism is taking advantage of this weakness to change the world order and put the United States on the brink of a cliff

Send the conscripts into battle at the point of a bayonet and threaten to shoot them if they retreat like the Soviets did?
