Donetsk, July 10, the Donetsk News Agency
The statements of the Ukrainian side on their readiness to exchange the DPR prisoners of war are false, the DPR Defense Minister Vladimir Kononov said.
““All statements made by the Ukrainian side about their readiness to return our soldiers to us are nothing but lies. When it comes down to actual transfers, they try to give us all sorts, most of whom don’t have even an indirect relationship to the DPR. At present, there’s been no clear agreement between the parties on how to organize any future exchange of prisoners,” – Konov said.
Earlier, the DPR government repeatedly stated that it favoured an exchange of prisoners on an “all for all” basis, provided for in a range of measures from the Minsk Accord of 12 February. The DPR believes that such exchanges are only possible only after Ukraine adopts a law on amnesty, provided for in the peace agreements.
Yesterday, Ukrainian volunteer Yuri Tandit told Ukrainian media that Ukraine and the DPR allegedly would soon hold a POW exchange.
