In addition, Ukraine has already identified more than 28 thousand people who joined the Russian army for the war against Ukraine.
In total, according to intelligence, representatives of 136 countries participated in the Russian armed forces, and at least 5149 foreigners died in the war against Ukraine.
- Ukraine held another exchange of prisoners, as a result of which 193 Ukrainian servicemen return home.
