This Monday, following a delay over the weekend, the large-scale prisoner of war exchange agreed upon by Russia and Ukraine last week in Istanbul began to take place. Approximately fifty soldiers, all aged 25 and under, were released. While this brought moments of joy to them and their families, our correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports that the scene was predominantly one of pain and distress for those whose husbands, fathers, sons, or brothers are still missing.
