Russia, Ukraine swap more prisoners after Kyiv attack
Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds of more prisoners Saturday as part of a major swap that amounted to a rare moment of cooperation in otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire in the ongoing war. The exchange came hours after Kyiv came under a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack that left at least 15 people injured. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russia's Defense Ministry said each side brought home more 307 more soldiers on Saturday, a day after each realized a total of 390 combatants and civilians. Further releases expected over the weekend are set to make the swap the largest in more than 3 years of war. National security analyst Hal Kempfer and LiveNOW's Austin Westfall break down what this means for the potential for peace.
