This is not the first exchange of this type, however “This time, for some inexplicable reason, the kyiv regime decided to sabotage the procedure in a more brutal way”Accusing the Ukrainians, he added “Ready to sacrifice their own citizens for the West's geopolitical interests”. “No one on the ground was harmed except by the bravery of the pilots who left the residential areas at the last moment”He promised.

“Ukraine was not informed of the number of vehicles, routes and means of transport of captives. This alone would reflect Russia's deliberate endangerment of the lives and safety of captives., Deputy Ambassador of Ukraine, Krystyna Hayovyshyn responded. Russian prisoners “Transferred to a designated location and safely awaiting transfer. The Russians must provide the same level of security to captured Ukrainian soldiers.She insisted.
