russia again stalls prisoner-of-war exchanges despite agreed schedule – Coordination Headquarters representative
Despite prior agreements on conducting prisoner-of-war swaps regularly, russia is once again delaying the process.
Oleh Slobodianyk, a representative of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, made the remarks during a discussion at Media Center Ukraine.
