Ten prisoners of war transferred to Saudi Arabia as part of exchange between Russia and Ukraine – Saudi foreign ministry
The move comes following efforts by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman"in continuation of commitment to the humanitarian initiatives towards the Russian-Ukrainian crisis", Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry says.
The prisoners, who also hail from Sweden, Morocco and Croatia, arrived in Saudi Arabia from Russia, and Saudi authorities "are facilitating procedures for their safe return to their respective countries", the statement said on Wednesday. Saudi Arabia voted in favour of an early United Nations resolution to denounce Russia's offensive and demand that Moscow withdraw troops.
