Bad deal on strategic level. Lots of rumbling in the background from Ukraine's European "allies", but Ukrainian government decided to do what Israel does when it comes to its own citizens and bring home the POWs and hostages of Kremlin back and price be damned.
On a personal level, I have to comment that I sincerely hope that Ukrainian government will recognize SBU operatives and the servicemen of the Ukrainian armed forces some of whom sacrificed their lives during high risk operations on enemy controlled territory which involved capturing high value targets that made this exchange possible.
That's also bad for ukrainian propaganda because in this swap ukrainians were changed on ukrainians (23 of 35 prisoners released by Ukraine were ukrainians, not Russians). It makes statements of ukrainian propaganda about fighting against "Russian army" utterly stupid.
