Russian Presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who heads the Russian negotiating group with Ukraine, said that the Russian side has thousands of prisoners of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He wrote about this in the Telegram channel.
At the same time, Kiev again took prisoners for a long time to exchange 146 for 146. Medinsky is sure that, apparently, the "exchange fund" of Ukraine is already approaching zero.
"According to the agreements reached in Istanbul, another exchange of prisoners of war took place. This time 146 by 146. Kiev again selected, this time from among 1,000 prisoners of the SS, who appealed to [Vladimir] Zelensky. Apparently, there are very few of us left there, the "exchange fund" of Ukraine is approaching zero. That's good. We still have thousands of prisoners of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," wrote Vladimir Putin's assistant.
