Russia's delay in conducting prisoner-of-war exchanges may be related to the holding of so-called elections in the Russian Federation, the inauguration of the Russian dictator, and now some personnel changes are taking place there. This was announced by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets during a briefing, the correspondent of UNN reports.
We have some problematic issues regarding the conduct of exchange processes. In my opinion, they were primarily related to the fact that the Russian Federation held so-called elections.then there was the inauguration procedure, and now some personnel changes are taking place there. Perhaps this is associated with the moments of delaying the conduct of metabolic processes
In his opinion, the Russian Federation will always look for opportunities to use these processes against Ukraine, against the Ukrainian authorities, against relatives of prisoners of war and missing persons.
