Moscow has handed over a list of 640 names for the exchange, but Kiev has yet to set a date for the trade, the Defense Ministry has said
Kiev has postponed a previously agreed prisoner swap with Moscow, according to Russian Lt. Gen. Alexander Zorin, speaking for the Defense Ministry. The trade would also include the repatriation of over 6,000 bodies of deceased Ukrainian soldiers, he added in a statement published on Saturday.
"Russia handed over to the Ukrainian side a list of 640 names, but the latter is so far refraining from setting a date for the return of these individuals," said Zorin, who was a member of Moscow's negotiating team in Istanbul. He explained that the exchange agreement covers two groups of prisoners - an "all-for-all" swap of wounded and critically ill, and those under 25 years old.
