52 Freed in Prisoner Exchange with Russia #shorts | VOA News
Fifty-two Ukrainians, including two former defenders of the Azovstal steel plant, were released Saturday as part of a prisoner exchange with Russia, according to Andriy Yermak, a senior official at Ukraine's presidential office.
The steelworks in the bombed-out port city of Mariupol now symbolize Ukrainian resistance.
Yermak said that among those released were the head of the surgical department of the military hospital at Mariupol, who was at Azovstal, and a young military surgeon.
Also released, he said, was a sailor who defended Ukraine's Snake Island, a strategic Black Sea outpost seized by Russia in the opening hours of the war. (AP)
