The Russian side suspended the exchange of prisoners of war in order to influence Ukrainian society and create the impression that the authorities are allegedly not dealing with this issue.

A representative of the Coordinating Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War Petro Yatsenko said in a comment to "Suspilne" that the Russians are constantly being presented with proposals — systematic work is underway.

Yatsenko recalled the creation of a mixed medical commission and headquarters with the International Committee of the Red Cross. Russia should take similar steps, but it is not doing it.
