Ukraine's Zelenskyy calls for 'return of all prisoners of war’ held in Russia, day after US prisoner swap

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is calling on Russia to release captives and prisoners of war the country has taken amid their current invasion.

"Let me remind you that the peace formula consists of ten points – from nuclear security to the restoration of the territorial integrity of our state, from energy security to the return of all prisoners of war and deportees held on the territory of Russia," Zelenskyy said Friday.

He added: "This is now one of the key tasks for our state – to involve the world in concrete implementation of the points of the peace formula. We must return the Ukrainian flag to all cities and communities of Ukraine, we must ensure the real responsibility of the terrorist state for this war, and we must guarantee the safety of all generations of Ukrainians after the end of this war."
