This makes no sense to me:
Ukrainian Snake Island sailors who shouted ‘Go f**k yourself’ at invading Russian forces before being captured are FREED in prisoner exchange with Moscow
Supposedly 19 Ukrainians from Snake island were traded for 11 Russian civilian sailors. Prisoner swaps occur all the time. But *these* prisoners seem like they’d be a propaganda coup for the Ukrainains. Trot these guys out on TV, on the radio, online, and in real life, and they’ll probably boost morale something fierce. Why the Russians would give them up is beyond me. Now if they all starting mysteriously dropping dead from never before seen diseases or Polonium poisoning… *THEN* it’d make sense.
