"There is a preliminary arrangement": Lubinets made a statement about the exchange of captives with the Russian Federation in 2025 (video)

The issues of exchange of prisoners of war were discussed with Russian Ombudsman Tatiana Moskalkova. By agreement, they will be formed by two parameters. The exchanges of prisoners between Ukraine and the Russian Federation in 2025 should become systematic. This was stated by the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights Dmitry Lubinets in an interview with the Council TV channel.

He noted that the issue of the exchange of prisoners was discussed with the Human Rights Commissioner in the Russian Federation Tatiana Moskalkova. During the meetings, a "preliminary arrangement" was reached on this. "We will see if the Russian side will keep its word. If so, Ukrainian society will see this systematic number, in terms, by categories," the Ombudsman stressed. According to Dmitry Lubin, the exchange lists will be formed by two parameters.

In particular, in the first place, home will return to the seriously wounded and seriously ill. The second principle is the principle of justice, that is, who is longer in captivity, he earlier. Tatiana Moskalkova provided confirmation of the lists in this way. "There is a preliminary agreement that every Ukrainian prisoner of war will receive a package from Ukraine, not only a Ukrainian prisoner of war, but also a civil hostage.

We do it with the help of the International Committee of the Red Cross," the Commissioner added. We will remind, on October 18 it became known that Ukrainian journalist Maxim Butkevich returned from captivity. It was exchanged as part of the exchange of prisoners, which took place in 95 format for 95. We will add that before the New Year, on December 30, Ukraine and the Russian Federation also had an exchange of prisoners of war.
