– Today our groups have carried out exchange consultations. The Russian side provided information that this weekend – on Saturday and Sunday – will be able to donate 500 peopleour soldiers of the over 1000 we agreed. We haven't received a letter yet. This time, unlike the previous meeting in Istanbul, the Russians gave the word that they would pass in advance the lists of people who we would exchange, which is important to us. We haven't received a letter yet, there are reasons again. The Russians will be ready on Saturday or Sunday to carry out the first two exchanges – said Zelanski.
According to Zelanski, after the exchange of prisoners, bodies may be replaced. Kyiv has information that Russia identified 15-20 percent. all the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers.
– It is important that we receive the bodies of Ukrainians, not the Russians who want to get rid of, because there was already such a precedent. That is why our position is that after replacing prisoners, preparation for the exchange of bodies will start. Again, due to technical issues, we believe that this order is correct – emphasized the Ukrainian leader.
