Suspended for several months: the Russian Federation accuses Kiev for delaying the exchange of prisoners of war
"Unfortunately, a few months, through Ukraine, which constantly imposes new, contrived requirements, exchanges suspended," Moskalkova said at an on -site meeting of the State Duma Committee on the Development of Civil Society. At the same time, in the report of May 17, the Ukrainian side, namely the coordination headquarters on the management of prisoners of war noted that it was the Russian side that in every possible way inhibited the process.
"We are ready for exchanges at any time," said Bogdan Okhrimenko, Head of the Secretariat of Coordination Staff. According to him, Russia systematically accuses Ukraine of inaction and unwillingness to exchange captured servicemen and civilians. However, last year, the Ukrainian side appealed to the Russian Federation with a proposal to create mixed medical commissions and a joint coordination center on the management of prisoners of war in a neutral medial state.
The Russian side has not yet responded to the official proposals of the coordination headquarters and continues to unilaterally block the exchange of prisoners of war. "The invaders do not set their own goals - to return their military.
At the same time, they accuse Ukraine of delaying the process," Okhrimenko said and noted that the Russian servicemen "openly despise the interests of Russian servicemen" and resort to "constant manipulation of emotions and feelings of families openly in the Russian Federation. Ukrainian defenders. " We will remind, on May 28 the Armed Forces took prisoners of the Russian military.
