Ukrainian authorities and Russian-backed separatists have begun a prisoner exchange aimed at ending the five-year conflict
Men are escorted by servicemen of the self-proclaimed republics during the exchange of prisoners of war between Ukraine and the separatist republics near the Mayorsk crossing point in Donetsk region, Ukraine on December 29, 2019.
Kiev's forces have been battling separatists in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine since 2014 in a conflict that has claimed more than 13,000 lives. Sporadic fighting continues despite a ceasefire agreement. In September, after a carefully negotiated rapprochement, Russia and Ukraine swapped dozens of prisoners. The move brought Western praise and hopes that relations between Moscow and Kiev could thaw.
