Ukraine’s surprise attack on the Kursk region in Russia has allowed the country’s forces to take hundreds of enemy prisoners and civilians, who Kyiv hopes to exchange for Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) held in Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calls Russian soldiers captured in the lightning offensive into the Kursk region, Ukraine's "exchange fund".
He hopes the prisoners of war taken in the surprise push that caught Russia off guard can be quickly exchanged for some of the roughly 6,500 Ukrainian soldiers that Moscow says it holds.
