The Tripartite Contact Group to resolve the conflict in the Donbas (Ukraine-OSCE-Russia) re-agreed the harmonization of the list of detainees who refuse to be taken to the temporarily occupied areas of the Donbas under prisoner swap program.

Spokesperson for the Ukrainian negotiator Darka Olifer wrote on Facebook, Censor.NET reports.

"On April 18, 2017, it was planned to verify those persons refusing to be taken to the part of the Donbas beyond control of the Ukrainian government. However, the stance of the "DPR"/"LPR" representatives rendered it impossible.
