Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova congratulated the families and friends of Russian service members who were released from Ukrainian captivity on Saturday, stating that she will continue to support efforts for future prisoner exchanges.

"I sincerely congratulate the mothers and wives, fathers and brothers, friends of our servicemen who have returned to their homeland! Now they will undergo rehabilitation, if necessary, treatment … We will continue facilitating the return of [captured] military personnel to their homeland," Moskalkova said on Telegram.

The ombudswoman mentioned that her team was in constant contact with the families of Russian soldiers.

Earlier on Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that, with the assistance of UAE mediators, they had secured the release of 115 Russian military personnel captured in Ukrainian-controlled territories in exchange for 115 Ukrainian troops.

"As a result of a negotiation process, 115 Russian servicemen taken prisoner in the Kursk region have been returned from territories controlled by the Kyiv regime," the Russian defense ministry said.

This marks the 55th prisoner exchange since the start of the war in Ukraine.
