In this handout video grab released by the Russian Defence Ministry, service members of pro-Russian forces, who were exchanged during a prisoners of war (POWs) swap between Ukraine and Russia, disembark an Ilyushin Il-76 military transport aircraft upon the arrival at the unknown location, as Russia's military operation in Ukraine continues, in Russia. Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Head Denis Pushilin said on September 22 that 56 people, including Ukrainian opposition politician Viktor Medvedchuk, were released from the Ukrainian captivity as a result of prisoner exchange between Moscow and Kiev.
