Return of loved ones: prisoner exchange carried out on Belarusian soil

7 people on each side — civilians from Russia and Ukraine — were exchanged on Belarusian territory. The Belarusian side organized and provided the necessary logistics: meeting the plane at Gomel airport, escorting the bus convoy to the 'Novaya Guta' crossing point where the exchange took place, hot meals, and medical assistance. Organizing comfortable and equal conditions for each side was a direct order from our President.
