“I want to tell you that the work is moving very actively, I will not announce anything, but I hope that in the near future we will have additional reasons for joy,” Pristayko said.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said that lists are being compiled and the next stage of the exchange is expected.

In turn, the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov did not rule out that Moscow and Kiev could hold a new exchange of held persons. However, he noted that the preparation will require a lot of time.

On September 7, an exchange of withheld persons took place between the countries according to the “35 for 35” formula.
