CWN Editor's Note: Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, expressed “gratitude to Pope Francis, Vatican diplomacy, and all international institutions” involved in helping secure the release of over 200 Ukrainian prisoners of war.
The POWs were released as part of the largest prisoner exchange since Russia invaded Ukraine nearly two years ago. Reuters reported that the Russian government attributed the release to mediation by the United Arab Emirates.
