The negotiation process with Russia regarding prisoner exchanges is not easy, but it continues and does not stop.
This was stated to a journalist by Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, UNN.
Details
No one will name the exact number (of stages – ed.), within the framework of the agreement in Istanbul, several categories were mentioned – these are seriously ill, wounded and young defenders. Ukraine is ready to conduct as many stages as necessary to return everyone in these categories. We are ready for such a formula, such an implementation. The question here is not in Ukraine, but in the actions of the other side
Yusov commented on whether Russia is trying to delay the exchanges that take place in accordance with the Istanbul agreements.
This is not an easy negotiation process, but it continues and does not stop. The fact that another stage took place just yesterday is a clear proof of this
