Обмен военнопленными 24.08.2025 | «Хочу жить»

On 24 August 2025, a new prisoner‑exchange took place under agreements reached earlier in Istanbul. In the 68th exchange, Ukraine, with the help of the United Arab Emirates, returned eight civilians—many of whom had been illegally held by Russia for years, including journalists. The video also explains the Ukrainian state project "Хочу жить," which supports Russian military personnel who wish to surrender safely, civilians at risk of mobilization, and those who want to switch sides or aid Ukraine. The project offers options to stay in Ukraine until the conflict ends or to return home through exchange, and it provides contact information for those seeking help.
