Trump congratulates Moscow, Kiev with releasing detainees
Washington, September 7 (Sputnik/UNI) US President Donald Trump has congratulated Russia and Ukraine with the release of detainees by both sides.
"Russia and Ukraine just swapped large numbers of prisoners. Very good news, perhaps a first giant step to peace. Congratulations to both countries!" Trump tweeted.
