This handout photograph taken and released on January 31, 2024 by the Ukrainian presidential press service, shows Ukrainian former prisoners of war reacting following a prisoner exchange, amid Russia's military invasion on Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds of prisoners of war on January 31, just a week after Moscow said Kyiv had shot down a plane carrying dozens of captured Ukrainian soldiers. Russia's defence ministry said 195 of its soldiers were freed, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said 207 people -- both soldiers and prisoners – had returned to Ukraine.
