Ukraine does not expect a large-scale exchange of prisoners in the near future due to a significant difference in the number of detained citizens. This was stated by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets during a press conference, according to a journalist of UNN.
As for the big exchange. Do I believe that there will be a big exchange in the near future - no. Because there is a difference in numbers. Yes, there really is. There are many more detained Ukrainian citizens in Russia
According to him, such an exchange is of course being discussed with our partners.
Do I see that our partners support our position? Yes! Do I see Russia's readiness to do so? No. In my opinion, they are ready to conduct exchange processes, they are ready to talk about all categories of Ukrainian citizens, but I do not see their readiness to conduct quick, large exchanges
He said that the Ukrainian side recently managed to return two Ukrainians who had been captured before the full-scale invasion.
Recall
There are more than 400 women who remain in Russian captivity as prisoners of war. Ukraine is currently working to organize an exchange that will bring back Ukrainian women.
