The exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine was not only sudden.

The exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine is not only sudden but also very strange! Russia has made huge concessions, and the malicious words left behind are even more self-defeating and ridiculed by Ukraine. The specific operation of prisoner exchange is as follows: under the mediation of Turkey, Russia exchanged 200 Ukrainian prisoners of war (including 108 soldiers in the Azov Sea) for 1 Ukrainian pro-Russian opposition leader Medvedev Chuk; Russia exchanged 55 Russian prisoners with five Azov battalions and marine corps commanders; Under the mediation of Saudi Arabia, Russia handed over 10 Ukrainian foreign mercenaries to Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine exchanged 0 Russian prisoners.

On the morning of September 2 1, Putin ordered the national local mobilization and recruited 300,000 reservists to fight in Ukraine. However, in less than a day, from the evening of September 2/Kloc-0 to the early morning of September 22, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 27 1 prisoner, the largest prisoner exchange since the Russian-Ukrainian war in seven months.

Under Turkish mediation, Russia exchanged 200 Ukrainian prisoners of war, including 108 soldiers of the Ukrainian Azov Battalion captured in upor, Mali, including 3 Ukrainian pregnant women, for Ukrainian pro-Russian opposition leader Medvedchuk; Russia exchanged five Ukrainian commanders, including Prokopenko, Palamar, karina, URI Na and Brigadier General of the 36th Brigade of the Ukrainian Marine Corps, for 55 Russian prisoners of war: 1 colonel, 1 major, 6 commanders, 4 warrant officers, 40 soldiers, 2 Donetsk militiamen and 1 Lugansk militiamen.

Under the mediation of Saudi Crown Prince Ben Salman, Russia handed over 10 Ukrainian foreign mercenaries (5 British, 2 American,/kloc-0 Swedish,/kloc-0 Croat,/kloc-0 Moroccan) to Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine exchanged 0 Russian prisoners.

On September 22nd, 10 Ukrainian foreign mercenaries arrived and are expected to return to their respective countries after a short break in Saudi Arabia. Five Ukrainian Azov Battalion and Marine Corps commanders also arrived in Turkey, and they will stay in Turkey until the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war before returning to Ukraine.

The largest prisoner exchange since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Russia has made huge concessions and suffered big losses. This is obvious: Russia exchanged 200 Ukrainian prisoners of war (including soldiers of 108 Azov Battalion who fought bloody battles with Russian troops in upor, Mali) for 1 Ukrainian traitors, Russian agents in Ukraine, friends of Russian President and leaders of Ukrainian opposition.

Ukraine is eager to hand over the traitor and Russian agents in Ukraine to Russia, and can even exchange him for 200 heroes. What is the price-performance ratio of this transaction? After the prisoner exchange, Ukrainian President Zelensky said that we originally intended to exchange Medvedchuk for at least one Azov camp defender, but we got back 200 people. The Ukrainian people should drink to this!

Earlier, Russian officials called the soldiers of the Ukrainian army Azov Battalion a heinous "Nazi" and told them that hell to pay publicly refused to include the soldiers of Azov Battalion in the list of exchanged prisoners. Many senior Russian officials publicly claimed that they should be shot.

In addition, Ukraine actually exchanged 0 Russian prisoners of war for 10 foreign mercenaries fighting for Ukraine. Among them, two British mercenaries and/kloc-0 Moroccan mercenaries have been sentenced to death by pro-Russian Donetsk and threatened to shoot them. At the same time, Russia has repeatedly claimed that Ukrainian foreign mercenaries are not protected by the Geneva Conventions and do not recognize their status as prisoners of war.

In other words, Russia's three-foot-high malicious words against the soldiers and foreign mercenaries in the Azov camp of the Ukrainian army were completely broken in this prisoner exchange activity, not only because of the great loss, but also because of a chicken feather!

As for whether it is cost-effective for Russia to exchange five Azov battalions and marine corps commanders for 55 Russian prisoners, people have different opinions. However, Russia has gained some face from this bizarre prisoner exchange: several Azov battalion commanders exchanged from Ukraine can only stay in Turkey, the mediator, and cannot return to Ukraine before the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which means that they cannot participate in the next Russian-Ukrainian war. This is also Turkey's previous proposal to exchange prisoners with Russia.

After the prisoner exchange, a detail was found through the photos: the Ukrainian prisoners who returned to Ukraine and went to Turkey were in high spirits and had a smile on their faces, while the Russian prisoners who returned to Russia were full of sadness and worry. Perhaps it is caused by the different fates of Russian and Ukrainian prisoners after returning to the motherland: Ukrainian prisoners will definitely get heroic applause, flowers and courtesy when they return to Ukraine. What will happen to Russian prisoners when they return to Russia?

After the five Azov Battalion and Marine Corps commanders arrived in Turkey, Zelensky said, "We are very happy that they can come back alive. They are Ukrainian heroes! These commanders will stay in a completely safe and comfortable environment and stay in Turkey under the protection of Turkish President Erdogan until the end of the war. We look forward to the day when they set foot on Ukrainian land again! "

Andrei Giermark, director of the Ukrainian president's office, said that President Zelensky has set a clear task: let our hero go home. The result is: our hero is free!

After the exchange of prisoners, the Ukrainian Presidential Palace publicly ridiculed Russia, saying that Ukraine exchanged "55 useless Russian prisoners for five Azov Battalion and Marine Corps commanders, while Russia exchanged 200 captured Ukrainian soldiers for Ukrainian traitor Medvedchuk."

After 10 Ukrainian foreign mercenaries arrived in Saudi Arabia on September 22nd, the Saudi Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that Russia's release of 10 Ukrainian foreign soldiers was based on the priority given by Crown Prince Ben Salman, and also to continue to fulfill his commitment to the humanitarian initiative of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, which was also the result of his continuous contacts with relevant countries.

Turkey hopes to be a mediator between Russia and Ukraine and has been continuing its diplomatic mediation, including urging Russia and Ukraine to exchange prisoners of war. This time, Russia and Ukraine exchanged more than 200 prisoners, and Erdogan contributed. The international community should respect him.
