Heros of the siege of Mauripol freed in prisoner exchange.

Some 200 Ukraine prisoners including over 100 from the Azov Regiment were exchanged for some 50 Russian prisoners including the corrupt politician Mevedchuk.
All 5 of the leaders of The Azov Mauripol Regiment were freed although they will be required to stay in Turkey for the duration. Putin couldn't stomach facing them on the battlefield again. Also freed were several foreign volunteers including an American.
