Provocation of the Ombudsman of the Russian Federation: Moscow accuses Kiev of reluctance to exchange prisoners of war

The Ukrainian side stated that Tatiana Moskalkova has repeatedly ignored the attempts of Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets to establish a constructive dialogue on the exchange of prisoners of war. The Russian Ombudsman Tatiana Moskalkova accused the Ukrainian side of unwillingness to exchange prisoners of war, and in confirmation of her words released a list with 133 names. This was reported on March 31 at the Coordination Headquarters on prisoners of war.

The Ukrainian side stated that she was using all possible ways to return our defenders, but Moskalyov has repeatedly ignored the attempts of Ukrainian ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets and international humanitarian organizations to establish a constructive dialogue on this issue.

"Moskalkova ignores repeated attempts by Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinz, as well as international humanitarian organizations to establish constructive dialogue, demonstrates lack of independent behavior and is only a tool of Russian propaganda," the statement said.

The statement said that last week, Ukraine, without any conditions, released seriously wounded prisoners of war, which could be transported, but instead of counter-steps, the Russian side discredits Ukrainian structures and is engaged in information. In addition, in Russia are kept as captives of non -combatants - persons who were in the army but did not participate in hostilities, as well as seriously ill and wounded Ukrainian fighters.

"They must all be released immediately without any additional conditions," the Coordination Headquarters emphasized. The statement states that the only positive moment in Moskalkova's actions is to publish lists of prisoners of war, which once again indirectly proves the stay of Ukrainian citizens in captivity. We will remind, in the area of ​​Bakhmut found a Ukrainian prisoner of war Alexei Gordeev, who was injured and got to the Russians.
