Zelensky: Kyiv Ready For Prisoner Exchange With Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Kyiv is ready for a prisoner exchange with Russia “even tomorrow,” as he called on allies to continue to put pressure on Moscow.  

“The exchange of people — this is a humanitarian matter today and a very political decision that depends on the support of many states,” Zelensky said Monday via videoconference to an audience in Davos.

“It is really important, that the whole world does not beg Russia, no matter the circumstance, or to make concessions to Russia,” he said.
“[They must] keep the political pressure on any way they can, through powerful business connections, through the closure of businesses, oil embargo, and through threats, real threats of sanctions, thwarting business, we can actively intensify the exchange of our people for Russian servicemen.”

“We do not need the Russian servicemen, we only need ours. We are ready for an exchange even tomorrow,” Zelensky said.

Ukrainians have also filled “tens of thousands” of black body bags with the remains of Russian soldiers left behind, he added.
