Moscow and Kyiv exchanged hundreds of prisoners Sunday, hours after the Kremlin launched a massive drone and missile assault the night before on Ukraine that killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens more.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged 303 prisoners Sunday after the release of 307 a day earlier and 390 on Friday. It was the largest prisoner exchange of the war, now in its third year.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russians fired at least 300 drones and 70 missiles at targets throughout the country, including the capital city.
