"Russia will manipulate": the headquarters explained why there were no "Azov" in the exchange of "1000 to 1000"

"The exchange that happened was a consequence of political agreement in Istanbul. There is very little time between this agreement and its actual implementation. You have to remember an important thing: for the Russian Federation their people mean nothing unlike the Ukrainian side. This means that Russia can and will manipulate," he explained. Gushchin stressed that for Russia all the exchange processes are one of the chains of large -scale manipulation aimed at Ukrainian society.

For this, the enemy requires that the people have questions to power. The coordination staff representative assured that Ukraine is making efforts to return both civilian and prisoners of war. The state also strives for the bodies of all those killed on the forefront to be given their relatives. "The Russians understand that for Ukraine one person is already value. Their hatred of our colleagues with" Azov "is just something internal.

They can hate all of us, and Azov - twice as much," Gushchin said. He warned that the Russian Federation would use the exchanges of prisoners to press on Ukrainians. The coordination headquarters said that it has caused Ukraine that Ukraine is not silent and constantly keeps the topic of returning citizens from captivity in the media space. "You have to understand why this is happening, why they are not returned at all or in a very limited number. Ukraine does everything on it.

Always, when public or non -public communications with the Russian side, the issue of returning our colleagues from Azov and all the rest is on the agenda. We will remind, that within the framework of the exchange "1000 to 1000" they did not return any "Azov", the commander of the brigade Denis Prokopenko drew attention. He called it "shame for our whole country. " The exchange "1000 to 1000" ended on May 25 and took place in three stages.
