“We had an exchange of bodies of the dead “45 to 45,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

Rogov clarified that the exchange took place between the settlements of Vasilyevka and Kamenskoye.

According to him, the Ukrainian side did not agree to the exchange for a long time.

“These are all those killed in the Mariupol direction,” Rogov said.

At the end of June, the authorities of the Donetsk People's Republic and Ukraine held an exchange of prisoners.

The parties exchanged 144 people each.
