LONDON — Russia and Ukraine have each handed over 390 soldiers and civilians in the biggest prisoner exchange since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022.They both returned 270 servicemen and 120 civilians on the Ukrainian border with Belarus, as part of the only deal agreed in direct talks in Istanbul a week ago.Both sides had agreed to an exchange of 1,000 prisoners and confirmed there would be further swaps in the coming days.Although there have been dozens of smaller-scale exchanges, no other handover has involved as many civilians.The Russian defence ministry said servicemen and civilians, including those captured by Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk border region during Kyiv's offensive in recent months, were among those handed over.They were currently on...

Daily Telegraph to be sold to US firm RedBird Capital
