President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked the Ukrainian military for their effective actions and replenishment of the exchange fund, according to the head of the Ukrainian state.

"I want to thank our soldiers and units who are replenishing the exchange fund by capturing occupiers and helping to free our people from Russian captivity," Zelenskyy said.

According to him, this is extremely important at the moment. Specifically, over the past three days, the actions of Ukrainian troops have been particularly effective.

"We need to return freedom to all our people who are currently in Russian captivity," he added.

Prior to this, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, announced preparations for a large-scale exchange with Russia, during which female prisoners of war would be returned.
