Saraliev reported on the prisoner exchange with Ukraine.

A 160-for-160 prisoner of war exchange between Russia and Ukraine was conducted today through the mediation of the UAE, a State Duma deputy from Chechnya announced.

A prisoner of war exchange between Russia and Ukraine was conducted today by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

160 of our soldiers are returning to Russia from Ukrainian captivity. "To Ukraine - 160," Shamsail Saraliev, a State Duma deputy from Chechnya and a representative of the Parliamentary Coordination Group on the Air Defense Forces, wrote on his Telegram channel. The returned Russian servicemen are currently in the Republic of Belarus, where Yana Lantratova, the Russian Human Rights Commissioner, is working with them. After receiving the necessary psychological and medical assistance, the Russian servicemen will be transported to the Russian Federation for further treatment and rehabilitation in medical facilities, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported. The United Arab Emirates provided humanitarian mediation during the return of the Russian servicemen from captivity. The day after the February exchange, Ramzan Kadyrov reported that 20 of those returned were natives of Chechnya. Journalists have discovered that among the returned Chechen fighters is a person convicted of sexual abuse of children and a former official. When discussing prisoner exchanges, the Russian side primarily demands the return of "Kadyrov's men from Akhmat," the Ukrainian project "I Want to Live" noted in its Telegram channel following the exchange on February 5.
