“So far there are no high-profile announcements for the press, but yes, there are certain advances there,” said a lawyer at RIA Novosti.

According to him, negotiations are underway.

“In any case, I think that there is a good prospect that there will be changes in the fate of Konstantin Yaroshenko and Viktor Bout in the near future,” he added.

At the same time, the lawyer noted that he could not disclose details about which he possesses information at this stage.

Earlier, Tarasov assessed the possible options for the exchange of Bout and Yaroshenko.
