Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated this in an interview with the Associated Press.
According to him, Ukraine fills its exchange fund, and then exchanges take place.
Very often we exchange prisoners of war not publicly. I’ll be honest – we change them right on the battlefield. When we have ten of their prisoners, they have several of our guys, we exchange them,” Zelensky noted. — That is, exchanges are not only “global”, but also “local”. The commanders have instructions for all this, they know what to do.
According to Zelensky, over the past six months, Ukraine has been able to return about 100 military personnel from captivity, and in total, since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, several thousand. At the same time, several thousand more defenders of Ukraine are in captivity.
