Ukraine and the russian federation are preparing a large-scale prisoner exchange - it is expected to involve at least 1,000 people. This was stated in an interview with journalist Dmytro Gordon by Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets, reports UNN.
Details
After information emerged about the possibility of an exchange, I immediately contacted Russian Ombudswoman Yana Lantratova to discuss further mechanisms for its implementation. In response, I received confirmation that the exchange would involve at least 1,000 people. At the same time, work must continue to make this number as large as possible
Lubinets also added that the Ukrainian side had outlined its position: among those returned, there must be both prisoners of war and illegally detained Ukrainian civilians.
