“After long negotiations, we still managed to convince the representatives of Ukraine to conduct an exchange before the Easter holidays, and also to determine the venue. The parties were able to agree on the exchange of held persons according to the formula 10 by 8, ”Morozova said.

She also expressed hope that "in the future, everything will go unchanged and according to a previously agreed plan."

Earlier, the representative of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic in the political subgroup, Rodion Miroshnik, said that the Ukrainian side refused to discuss the details of the areas of the separation of forces in the Donbass, which were previously agreed upon in the framework of the negotiations of the contact group to resolve the situation in eastern Ukraine.
