A plane carrying Ukrainians freed in a prisoner exchange with Russia landed in Kiev on Saturday, a Reuters witness said.
The prisoners' relatives were lined up on the tarmac and loudly cheered the aircraft's arrival.
The long-awaited swap could ease volatile tensions over Moscow's annexation five years ago of Ukraine's Crimea region.
