“We urge Kiev not to chase media PR and go to a video conference with the preliminary implementation of specific steps to prepare the exchange - first of all, to process the cleansing of detainees,” RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

The representative of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic at the talks in Minsk, Vladislav Deynogo, also noted that a video conference on the exchange of prisoners between Kiev and the republics of Donbass will be held on December 23.

Earlier, the representative of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic in the humanitarian subgroup in the Donbass, Olga Kobtseva, declared the republic’s readiness to transfer 30 people to Kiev as part of the exchange.
