LPR authorities called difficult negotiations with Kyiv on the exchange of prisoners of war

“Negotiations are going hard,” RIA Novosti quotes Soroka.

According to her, the LPR authorities were counting on a larger number of people released from Ukrainian captivity.

Nevertheless, Soroka noted, negotiations continue.

On October 17, the Ministry of Defense reported that 110 Russian citizens had been returned from the territory of Ukraine as a result of the negotiation process.

Acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin called the fighters who returned from Ukrainian captivity heroes.
