Ukrainian president greets troops freed in prisoner swap

Pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine have freed four Ukrainian prisoners a day after the two sides exchanged hundreds of captives.

On Friday, rebels freed 146 prisoners for 222 people held by the government, in the biggest such swap to date.

President Petro Poroshenko greeted those freed on Friday at an airport, and said his heart was "full of joy".
