"Madness": Russia suggested to exchange children for prisoners of war - Zelensky

To spread: the Russians offered an initiative to return Ukrainian children who were deported in the Russian Federation. It is about the exchange of children for Russian prisoners of war. The proposal of the Russian Federation to exchange children for military beyond understanding and international law, said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a joint press conference with Austria President Alexander van der Bellen. "We do not change children.

It is madness that, by the way, the Russians suggested that we give them the military, and they are children. Just beyond understanding, beyond international law, it is in their spirit," Zelensky said. He noted that children should be returned, not exchanged. It requires the art of diplomacy and relations at the bilateral level of a particular leader or state with the Russians.

"That is why we attract so many countries that a little bit, who can, return thousands of children stolen home home," the President said. Recall that in May, a two-party group of senators presented a resolution that requires the return of all Ukrainian children forcibly exported to Russia, before the conclusion of any peace agreement on the end of the war. In March, US Presidential Administration Donald Trump stopped financing the project, which monitors Russia's abduction of Ukrainian children.
