“Of the 215 prisoners rescued from Russian captivity, 200 cannons were exchanged directly with Viktor Medvedchuk,” the Ukrainian Security Service reported.

Medvedchuk is a pro-Russian billionaire businessman who was captured by Ukrainian forces. Vladimir Putin’s government complied with Ukraine’s demands and released Russian soldiers in exchange for the billionaire.
