Nine Ukrainians freed after prisoner exchange deal with militants (video update) - watch on - uatoday.tv

139 Ukrainians are still in militant captivity, according to presidential spokesman

In the town of Shchastya near the city of Luhansk in east Ukraine, eight Ukrainian soldiers and 1 civilian have been released from the captivity of Russian-backed militants as part of a prisoner exchange deal which saw 11 militants go the other way.

The Ukrainian soldiers had been held for anywhere from a month and a half to one year.

This former captive says: "I'm one of the lucky ones, I was only held for a month and a half."

Each of the newly-released men has someone waiting for them at home, and they're sure that it's because of the prayers of their loved ones that they've survived.

The prisoner exchange took place within the framework of the Minsk peace deal agreed to by Russia, Ukraine and the militants. According to the agreement, all prisoners must be released by both sides.

Iryna Herashchenko, presidential representative for humanitarian issues:"After conducting this very difficult operation, some prisoners remain and for us it is extremely important that they are freed. This is the sixth point of the Minsk agreement – the unconditional release of all hostages."

That means more prisoner exchanges are likely to take place in future. That gives hope to many families. Officials say that for the moment, the whereabouts of 778 Ukrainians are still unknown.

Over 8,000 people have been killed since Russia invaded east Ukraine last year

Five Ukrainian soldiers have been wounded in eastern Ukraine in fighting between government troops and Russian-backed forces.

Military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said Russian-led militants are stepping up attacks along the front line.

"Yesterday militants increased their activities along the front line with all ceasefire violations occurring in the daytime," Lysenko said.

He noted that the fighting did not mean Moscow had sanctioned a new offensive in the Donetsk region.

"The fact that the militants became more active does not stand for their preparing for launching offensive operations," Lysenko said.

"Militants try to provoke the Ukrainian military to start firing back. However, Ukrainian soldiers resist these provocations, but unfortunately, our guys get injured, yet we do not fall for these provocations and do not give the enemy any chance to blame the Ukrainian party for violating the Minsk ceasefire agreements ", Lysenko added

Andrei Lysenko said Ukrainian army positions in the Luhansk (in the town of Shchastya, near the Luhansk power station) and Donetsk regions had also been fired at on November 3.

Skirmishes between Donetsk militants resulted in dozens of deaths, according to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine's Defense Ministry.

"15 people died and about 20 have been wounded as a result of shootout in Donetsk between separatists' gangs," says the report.

So-called security forces of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic arrested more than 40 militants involved in the deadly melee.

According to the Ukrainian intelligence, similar incidents with the militant infighting become more frequent in areas controlled by combined Russian/separatist forces in east Ukraine. Public dissatisfaction is also growing due to the increased number of crimes committed by the armed militants, who are often under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

At the same time militant commanders are doing their best to conceal these facts.
