Wow! Seeing is believing. Not sure if one could fake that video. However, is that not a prisoner exchange? There are people walking in both directions.
I cannot find confirmation elsewhere, but I did find this:
I see media is painting Turner as "Far-right", neo-nazi, holocaust denier, etc. etc.
So questioning the interpretation, not the video.
Someone else made the claim that it was prisoner exchange. I ask them for proof, a dated story about it, and not gotten reply. Also look for myself, and can't find any thing that shows it was prisoner exchange. Does not mean it's not that, but why would you have surrender flags if it was prisoner exchange.
I can find no display of white flag ever being displayed during prison swap. I can find pictures of other swaps, but no white flag.

FWIW this site says prisoner exchange. https://observers.france24.com/en/europe/20230731-debunked-ukrainian-soldiers-surrendering-en-masse-prisoner-exchange
I'll buy that, although I don't trust fact checking sites to tell the truth. In the video you link to it clearly show one line of people going on way, and the other opposite way.
A small error the Telegraph makes is to say a white flag typically represents a neutral area. I just read extensively about the meaning of a white flag in individual state military code and international code, and find no reference to it being used to represent a "neutral area."
