They have freed a total of 1,000 captives — including the final 303 released this morning.
Russia says it has completed a prisoner exchange with Ukraine, freeing a total of 1,000 captives — including the final 303 released this morning.
The swap comes despite otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire, with at least 12 killed in Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and villages overnight.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised the United States, saying its "silence" over the attacks only "encourages Putin."
The Tánaiste has condemned the Russian attacks saying "these are not the actions of a country interested in peace".
In a statement, Simon Harris says the images of "cities burning" and "people pulled from the rubble are shocking".
He adds if Moscow is serious about peace, it will immediately agree to an unconditional ceasefire.
