Those who are looking for information about the destiny of loved ones waited for the crushing information that returned to war.

Families missing the Ukrainian soldiers gathered near Belarus City on Monday with a planned prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine.

As soon as the bus was holding a prisoner, many relatives went forward, wielding many photos of missing fathers, brothers and sons.

The face was full of anxiety. Few people are expected to be rejoined, and most of the information was desperate after waiting for the news.

At the latest direct talks in Türkiye last week, the two war agreed to exchange prisoners under 25 years of age.

Ukraine’s President Bolody Mirgel Renki said that this exchange will be developed in several stages in the future.

He told Telegram: “The process is very complicated, there are many sensitive details, and the negotiations continue almost every day.”

The Russian Defense Ministry said, “The Russian military group under 25 has returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime and said that the” similar number “has returned to Ukraine, not providing the exact figures of how many people were exchanged.

As with the past exchange, Moscow said Russian soldiers were receiving psychological and medical support in Belarus.

Kiev officials said that Ukrainian prisoners, who returned on Monday, have been in Russian prisoners since the beginning of the war.

Tetiana, gathered with other Ukrainians in the Chernihiv region, close to Belarus, carried a cardboard sign with his father, Valentyn and Mykola.

“When my father went to fight, my greatest fear was to fill my eyes with tears.” “Maybe he could be hurt and returned.”

The war suffered great damage to the family. Tetiana’s uncle died in September, but his body has recently returned to be buried.

Tetiana is one of the relatives gathered to reunite with the missing family.

When one of the prisoners who returned home appeared on the window, the women waiting for the bottom threw the name of the regiment, hoping that there could be news.

He apologized, made a heart sign with his hands, and sang “Slava Ukraini” -A glory to Ukraine. “Heroiam Slava” -The heroes glory -the crowd answered all at once.

As they came inside, some soldiers grabbed when they looked in the crowd for a while.

Petro Yatsenko for the Ukrainian war prisoner to the BBC said, “They spent a lot of time at the Russian detention place without visiting the International Red Cross.”

“Their health is very poor. They do not have enough food. Of course they need a long -term rehabilitation.”

However, the 23 -year -old baller returned to the home soil with three years and three months of captive and looked happy after a bowl of Ukraine.

When he left, the women wanted to go forward and push the missing photos into their arms and recognize someone.

Last week, Moscow and Kiev accused each other that they interfered with the planned repatriation of the dead soldiers.

Russia said that more than 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers were taken to an agreed exchange point, but Ukrainian officials had never arrived. Ukraine accused Moscow as “dirty gameplay,” and Russia insisted that it did not adhere to the consensus parameters of the consensus swap.

At the end of May, Russia and Ukraine transferred more than 390 soldiers and civilians in the largest prisoner exchange since Russia began infringement in 2022.

The war, meanwhile, continued overnight, and Moscow started 479 drones in Ukraine.

The Russian Defense Ministry aimed at Rivne’s Dubno base on June 1 in response to Ukraine’s bold drone attacks on Russian airfields, and explained this as “one of retaliation strikes.”

Russian launches were damaged in many Ukrainians, but there were no reports of casualties.

Russia has recently expanded its attack on Ukraine and has a weekly new drone record.

KYIV said that it attacked another Russian Air Force in the Nizhny Novgorod region, 400 miles from the Ukrainian border.

Ukraine said Base House fired an ultrasound missile and that “two units of enemy aircraft” were damaged.

KYIV also aimed at an electronic plant that it manufactures equipment for guiding drones and air bombs.
