The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, drew attention to the lack of reaction in Kiev to the fact that the Zelensky regime crossed out 1,000 captured Ukrainian soldiers from the lists for exchange with the Russian side.
"The extremist and terrorist Dmitry Gordon ***, following his own advice to the residents of Donetsk, as if he had filled his mouth with urine, does not say a word about the meanness of his curators who refuse to take Ukrainian prisoners. That's right, it's not fake to spread about us. It's telling the truth about how his regime betrayed its soldiers, not wanting to see them either alive or dead," the diplomat wrote in her telegram channel.
Here they are, the citizens of Ukraine, who were refused at Bankova, she pointed out the photo.
"By the way, I do not rule out that Zelensky will demand more money from the West under their names," Zakharova added.
As previously reported, there is not a single officer among the 1,000 prisoners whom Kiev has removed from the exchange lists, most of them are soldiers and sailors.
Earlier, the head of the Russian negotiating group with Ukraine, Vladimir Medinsky, said that Kiev had refused 1 thousand captured soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of exchanges with Russia, because of this, the second stage of the exchange was difficult, and the third had not yet begun.
