The exchange of held persons, according to the senator, can be considered a good help for a possible meeting in the Norman format.
He recalled that this decision of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is consistent with his election statements, as well as the wishes of the residents of Ukraine.
“From a human point of view, this is very good news, because people have returned home, and now they have no risk of being under some kind of political press,” Klimov added.
