Planes carrying former detainees landed in Moscow and Kiev airports, marking the conclusion to the long-awaited swap between Russia and Ukraine. The numbers have been put at 35 people for 35.
Despite many delays and setbacks, the swap finally happened on Saturday, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova confirmed.
The government plane carrying the released Russians landed in Moscow this afternoon. The jet with the freed Ukrainians earlier touched down in Kiev, where they were greeted by a large joyous crowd and President Volodymyr Zelensky.
