Am 1571. Tag der groß angelegten Invasion ist die Sonne über Kiew untergegangen. Frau hält beim Kriegsgefangenenaustausch ein Schild für einen ukrainischen Soldaten, dessen Schicksal unbekannt ist

On March 6, 2026, the second round of the prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia took place in a “500 for 500” format.

Frontliner reporters captured the first moments when families received the news and were reunited with their loved ones.

Many others did not receive the deeply hoped-for news but still attend POW exchanges, hoping to learn something about their loved ones and to make sure they are not forgotten.
