(Reuters) - Russia and Ukraine have agreed to return to each other a total of nine children to be reunited with family members, according to a senior Russian official, in the latest humanitarian exchange between the warring countries.
The transfers were agreed following mediation by Qatar, which has brokered several similar deals since the start of the full-scale war in February 2022.
