I’m astonished that Russia would exchange 800 Ukrainian POWs for 200 Russian POWs. I would have expected 400 to 200 based on previous exchanges. I’m not sure how wise this decision was.

This may be part of the Kremlin's way of trying to gain ground in the PR war. Present themselves as reasonable and humane, in contrast to Kiev. Probably this is what lay behind the proposed "Christmas Truce" as well.
