Zelensky explained the reasons for the delays in prisoner exchanges with Russia.

According to ТСН: President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about the reasons for the delays in major prisoner exchanges with Russia. In response to journalists' questions, he noted that the situation is related to the pressure that Russia is trying to exert on Ukraine.

Diplomatic pressure

'Ukraine is using its diplomatic efforts to force Russia to end the war. Russia understands that prisoner exchanges are an important and painful issue for us. That is why it is delaying this process,' Zelensky emphasized.

Government efforts

The president assured that the Ukrainian government is doing everything possible to unblock prisoner exchanges.

Influence of the new head of the Office

In addition, Zelensky answered questions about the possible influence of the new head of his Office, Kyrylo Budanov, on information policy.

Delays in prisoner exchanges reflect the difficult situation at the front and Russia's unwillingness to make compromises. The Ukrainian side continues to seek ways to solve this specific problem, as the issue of humanitarian exchanges remains critically important for many families. Further actions by the Ukrainian government in this direction should become an important step towards restoring justice for the military and their families.
