Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Telegram that the released Ukrainian prisoners of war included privates, sergeants and officers, most of whom had been held in Russian captivity since 2022.
He said the exchange marked the first stage of the planned 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap.
Last week, Trump said on his Truth Social platform that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a three-day ceasefire from Saturday through Monday and a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange.
Moscow and Kiev conducted two previous prisoner exchanges in April.
The first took place during Orthodox Easter, when the sides exchanged 175 servicemen each, while the second was held on April 24, with 193 prisoners exchanged on each side.
