Ukraine on the statement of the Russian Federation regarding the" readiness " to exchange prisoners: this game of Russians is only for the public
Kyiv • UNN
The coordination headquarters said that the lists of Ukrainian prisoners published by the Russian Federation are just a game for the public. Errors were found in the lists, civilians and prisoners already exchanged.
Russia's statements about the number of Ukrainian prisoners that they seem to be able to change and the published lists are a game of Russians – only for the public, and it is especially cynical. Ukraine receives real proposals from the Russian side only on the exchange of prisoners captured in the Kursk direction.
This was stated by the secretary of the Coordination Headquarters, Brigadier General Dmitry Usov, reports UNN.
From the Russian side, there are loud statements about the number of prisoners they seem to be able to change, and even lists appear. Of course, we didn't receive any real offers through official channels. This game of Russians is only for the public, and it is especially cynical. They manipulate the fate of people and the vulnerable position of relatives
He noted that the lists distributed by Russians were analyzed.
"We have carefully analyzed the general lists.
What we see: seven prisoners have already been exchanged, there are a lot of errors in the surnames and dates of birth, among the surnames there are fourteen civilians.
In other words, Russian propagandists offer to exchange our ordinary citizens for their military, which is a violation of international humanitarian law. That these lists and loud statements are intended only to undermine the situation," the brigadier general noted.
This is an attempt to discredit Ukrainian state bodies
Usov noted that Ukraine receives real proposals from the Russian side only on the exchange of prisoners captured in the Kursk direction. Captured Russians from other regions are not interested in the so-called Russian authorities.
Hundreds of Russian prisoners – including seriously wounded ones – have been languishing in Ukrainian camps for more than a year or two. The aggressor country is not interested in the current fate from the very beginning of the invasion. Of course, the conditions of detention cannot be compared with Russian dungeons. However, we keep these people in accordance with the norms of the Geneva Conventions for only one purpose: to exchange them as soon as possible for Our Defenders and defenders. There is no other reason to keep them with us and spend our taxpayers ' money on them
The Ukrainian side did not see in the published lists of seriously wounded and women.
Namely, these categories should be returned in accordance with international humanitarian law in the first place. Russia does not comply with any laws of war and does not want to do so. The Russian so-called authorities were not interested in the fate of their own citizens, and they are not interested in them. Propagandists play for the public. The real mechanisms of return – repatriation, mixed medical commissions, the exchange of "all for all" – are still reliably blocked by the Kremlin
addition
On December 2, it was reported that the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, Tatyana Moskalkova, published an alleged list of Ukrainian prisoners of war and cynically stated that "Ukraine does not agree to take them away.
Subsequently, Ukraine denied reports of the terrorist country about the alleged refusal to exchange prisoners of war.
