Released Ukrainian soldiers learn of Kursk invasion for the first time in major prisoner swap

Footage has emerged of some of the Ukrainian soldiers freed in a major prisoner swap with Russia reacting with excitement and disbelief as they learn about the latest developments in the war.

Some of the POWs were captured in the early days of the invasion and have had little access to information about how the conflict was developing, according to Belarusian opposition outlet Nexta, which shared the video.

Ukraine launched a surprise incursion into the southern border region of Kursk last month, capturing around 500 square miles of Russian territory , which it is mostly still holding, although Russia claims to have recaptured some settlements in recent days.

Other photos and videos shared online show the released Ukrainians taking selfies, posing with flags and embracing their fellow servicemen.

  1. The boys looked pale and tired, I hope the commies were treating them with respect in accordance with the laws…

  2. So nice to see these heroes return home. I hope they share their stories with the world to remind us of their bravery and the horror of Russian aggression to remind us all why this fight is so important. Prayers out to all their comrades who remain in captivity

  3. They didnt mention that the russian regained kursk mostly and that he main purpose (diffusing pokrovsk) failed. 🤡💩. SLAVA RUSSIA!

  4. I learned this morning that one man could not speak, he had to write his conversation down, so the volunteer could read it to his parents😭😭😭😭😩😩😩😩🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😡😡😡😡🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

  5. Ukraine was just another American vassal state for war. I feel sorry that Ukrainians were forced to this war.

  6. SO what did they learn? That Ukrainians invaded Kursk region at the cost of heavy losses, to obtain literally nothing. While the Eastern front totally collapsed? I woudl almost cry as well lmao.
