Russia released double as Ukraine, what a sign of good gesture

[arnoldwanjeh]

That means Russia captures more than Ukraine

[cosmincalin]

116 Ukrainians soldiers to 63 Russian soldiers this means Ukraine losing more soldiers in battle then Russia

[nisterbasumatary]

Saudi Arabia has done very good job 🌹🌹👍👍

[mgodiez]

So 1 Russian soldier is equivalent to 2 Ukrainian soldiers

[MsFerdinand]

Ukraine is a free democracy, we must help it with all means, thereby defending international law and stability from any mad dictators who may want to attack another nation tomorrow.

Ukraine is going to send them right back to the front line, they've been drafting amputees lately yet they're "winning"

[kiyarimuhammadu]

Peace! Where are those who claims that Russian forces suffering than Ukraine? The prisoner swapping, indicates the side that suffered most, exposing opposite to western propaganda machine.

[seneboadu]

You've got sense to swap prisoners yet no sense to stop killing....I never knew humanity was this stupid.

[omardelpleche]

You send them home yes.. then you swarm them with missiles, I think they were safer in prison maybe?

[Ashley-Paucek]

I am glad that thanks to our help Ukraine can resist the occupiers so successfully.
The return of prisoners is an important part of the war.
God bless Ukrainian heroes.💙💛

I'm very happy that the heroes have finally come home. These are the soldiers who defended Mariupol, Bakhmut, Soledar and were in the hottest spots

[samataryusuf]

Congrats To Russia For Releasing Double

[anhconroy]

Ukrainians are paying a very high price for their independence and the freedom of all of Europe. We must support them with arms and financially.

[WongTinKay]
