A large exchange of prisoners took place on Dec. 29. 76 Ukrainians returned to the government-controlled territories from captivity in the occupied parts of the Donbas, whilst Ukraine handed over 127 people to the so-called Luhansk and Donetsk “people’s republics”. So who are these Ukrainians who returned from captivity, and who are the confirmed departures to the “DPR” and “LPR” within the exchange? Hromadske compiles a list of those we could confirm.
