Easing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, 200 prisoners were exchanged Sunday between Ukraine and the Russia-controlled sections of Donetsk and Luhansk. Ukraine sent 124 people to the Russia-controlled Donbas and received 76 prisoners in return. Four months earlier, in a direct Russia-Ukraine prisoner swap, each side repatriated 35 prisoners. The exchanges are seen as a step toward implementing a real cease-fire in 2020.
