Russia has halted prisoner exchange process, - Zelenskyy
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the Russian side had halted the prisoner exchange process because it was not involved in it.
According to Censor.NET, citing UP, Zelenskyy made this statement during a conversation with journalists.
Russia is not interested in an exchange
"The Russians have halted the process. They are not particularly interested in exchanging people, because they do not feel that it gives them anything."
According to him, Russians see that prisoner exchanges are more important for Ukraine than for them.
"They believe it benefits us. But I think they should also be thinking about their own people – their own soldiers," Zelenskyy added.
What preceded it?
- Earlier it was reported that Russia had stalled a large prisoner exchange that had been agreed upon earlier and was supposed to take place before the New Year. Now they "want general agreements."
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also said that Russia had postponed the agreements reached at the end of 2025 on the exchange of prisoners of war.
