KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia and Ukraine have swapped hundreds more prisoners of war, the third and last part of a major swap and a rare moment of cooperation in otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire. Each side brought home 303 more soldiers in Sunday’s exchange after each released a total of 307 combatants and civilians on Saturday, and 390 on Friday. The swap was the biggest since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and came just hours after Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv and other regions came under a massive Russian drone-and-missile attack that killed at least 12 people and injured dozens. Ukrainian officials sad the attack was the largest aerial assault of the war.
