Moskalkova announced the disruption of plans for the exchange of prisoners due to the “silence” of Ukraine

Ukraine does not respond to Russia regarding the inclusion of military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the lists for the exchange of prisoners, and thereby disrupts the next exchange. About it informed Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation Tatyana Moskalkova in her Telegram channel.

The Ombudsman expressed “extreme concern” about the current situation. According to her, the Ukrainian side announced three weeks ago that 70 representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, whom Kyiv did not want to exchange earlier, would be included in the lists and returned to Ukraine.

“Time passes, the list has been replenished: today there are already 133 names in it, and the Ukrainian side is silent…,” Moskalkova wrote. Then she published a list of 133 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine offered for exchange.

March 27 Moskalkova confirmedthat Kyiv handed over five servicemen to Russia, who were seriously injured. In Kyiv clarifiedthat this is not an exchange, but repatriation, “as provided for by international humanitarian law.”

Previous exchange of prisoners of war between Russia and Ukraine took place March 7th. It was planned according to the formula 160 to 160, but the Ukrainian side agreed to exchange only 90 people. Then Moskalkova said that the negotiation process continues and the services are fighting “for each of our guys.” Later, the Ombudsman published a list of 70 soldiers whom Kyiv refused to accept.
