Donetsk, June 29, the Donetsk News Agency
Authorities of the DPR and Ukraine have scheduled exchange of POW, reported official representative of the DPR in Contact Group, Vice-Speaker of the People’s Council Denis Pushilin today.
“There is a preliminary agreement in regard to partial exchange of POW, but it is difficult to appoint the exact date”, — the DPR representative said.
“I would like to emphasize that partial exchanges, unfortunately, suspend the process regularized by the “Normandy format” talks — i.e., the exchange of “all for all”, — Pushilin added. — Nevertheless in order for this postulate to work the law on amnesty needs to be used, enacted as long ago as in September of the last year, but this law is evasive, and we are faced with another imitation of the part of Kiev”.
Exchange of POW in accordance with the formula “all for all” is one of the key provisions of the Set of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk agreement signed on February 12 in the capital of Belarus. The Set also mentions “clemency and amnesty by way of enactment of a law forbidding persecution and punishment of citizens involved in the events in Donbass”.
