The Russians were not warned: in the media shared new details about the disruption of the exchange of prisoners

According to an anonymous source of journalists, which is familiar with the procedures for the exchange of prisoners, the Russian side did not warn about how the prisoners of war would be transported to the agreed place. The Russian exchange fund "drove aircraft several times", but on Wednesday there were no warnings on their part. "The Russians did not warn about the ways of transportation. This is usually agreed in advance to turn the ceasefire regime," the anonymous source said.

It is worth noting that there was no official information that there were Ukrainian prisoners of war on board. In the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense also stated that Russian representatives did not know the Ukrainians about the need to ensure the safety of airspace in the area of ​​Belgorod. During previous exchanges, this was agreed in advance.

According to Ukrainian intelligence, this may indicate that Russia deliberately took actions aimed at creating a threat to the life and safety of prisoners. "Landing a transport aircraft in a 30-kilometer warfare may not be safe and in any case should be discussed by both parties, because otherwise it is dangerous for the entire exchange process," the statement reads.

We will remind, on January 24, on January 24, frames of the fall of the Russian truck aircraft IL-76 near the border in the Belgorod region appeared on the network. The video shows how the aircraft drops at speed. According to propaganda publications, 63 Ukrainian prisoners of war could have been on board the aircraft. This information was not officially confirmed.

The General Staff after the fall of the IL-76 stated that the Armed Forces will continue to destroy the means of delivery of weapons of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. According to command, Ukrainian defenders are forced to control the airspace and monitor the enemy's logistics. This reduces the danger of rocket attacks for the population. Later, the media wrote that there were no Ukrainian prisoners of war on board, which was not told by the Armed Forces Air Force.
