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.

I don't think this will go over well in Moscow.

Trent Telenko on the new facts on the ground in Eastern Ukraine.

Lyman apparently was taken today. Ukraine is returning the enormous number of artillery shells seized in the recent offensive to Russia. They are able to maneuver on the former Russian controlled railroad. The offensive across the Oskil River is just beginning. The Russians are out of troops. They won't be able to resist an offensive through north Luhansk.
