On weekends between Ukraine and Russia, there may be a large exchange of prisoners of war in the 500 to 500 format. This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a briefing on June 4.
According to him, the Russian side informed her intention to transfer 500 Ukrainian military on Saturday and Sunday. Ukraine, in turn, is ready to exchange for a similar number of persons.
Zelensky noted that despite the previous arrangements, lists of persons for exchange by Russia have not yet been provided. He stressed that this issue is fundamental to the Ukrainian side because it allows you to better prepare for the procedure.
In addition, in the case of the exchange of prisoners, the next step will be preparation for the exchange of bodies of the dead.
This arrangement, if executed, will become one of the largest full -scale war and will testify to some progress in humanitarian negotiations.
