Zelensky made a statement about the exchange of captives.

Ukraine continues the exchange of captives with Russia

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that the agreement on the exchange will be in effect next week and expressed hope that Russia will fulfill its part in this process.

We are working to bring back all our other people who are currently in Russian captivity. We plan that exchanges will continue next week; at least that is the agreement.

In June, captives who were captured back in 2022 were already returned. This became possible due to complex negotiations and the organization of exchanges. For the Ukrainian authorities, the return of prisoners of war is of great importance.

Ukraine became the first country in indefinite sanitary exchanges with Russia, transferring wounded captives directly from the front line. However, it was recently revealed that the Russians severed the finger of a Ukrainian soldier who was in captivity.

Ukraine continues important international diplomatic activities aimed at returning its citizens who are held captive in an enemy country. The exchange of captives is a complex process; however, its successful implementation is an important step in resolving the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Ukraine continues active exchanges of captives with Russia, hoping for the swift return of its citizens and ensuring safety along the front line. The significance of this process lies in resolving the conflict between the two countries and providing assistance to injured participants.
