Russia has canceled the planned exchange of prisoners.
This was reported in the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
They also said that the Russians use events organized to support prisoners of war as an excuse to shake public sentiment in Ukraine.
Kremlin propagandists claim that at the rally in Kyiv they allegedly demanded "to stop hostilities and start negotiations with Russia" and "applied to the embassies with a demand to stop arms deliveries."
- Russia has confirmed that it is holding 3,392 Ukrainian citizens captive. At the same time, approximately 15,000 people, including many civilians, are currently considered missing in Ukraine.
