Russia, Ukraine exchanged almost 300 prisoners on Wednesday

Almost 300 prisoners of war have been exchanged between Ukraine and Russia. The announcement of the swap was a surprise because it came just a few hours after Vladimir Putin had announced plans to send 300,000 reservists to Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the swap took intense negotiations, with help from Turkiye and Saudi Arabia. Liz Maddock reports.
