The exchange of prisoners of war has slowed down because of Russia, but the track will open soon. Work is now underway to return a fairly good number of Ukrainian soldiers. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the final press conference, an UNN correspondent reports.
I cannot say what has complicated this process (prisoner exchange - ed.). You are right, the process is complicated... This track is working, it has really slowed down. The reasons are on the part of Russia... The track will open, they are working on a fairly good number of our guys to bring them back, God willing.

AddendumAddendum
In addition, during his speech, Zelensky commented on the return of Crimeans.
It's a complicated story. There is nothing to thank international organizations for, they could not do anything. I worked very hard on this issue with President Erdogan. So far, Mr. Erdogan has not shown any results regarding all the prisoners who were in Crimea.
