Kirill Budanov, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, stated that another major prisoner exchange could take place in the coming days.

He made this announcement on August 28 in an interview with Natalia Moseychuk, which was broadcast during the “Yedyni Novyny” telethon.

According to Budanov, another prisoner exchange took place recently. In addition, Ukraine managed to repatriate 10 more citizens from Belarus in time for Independence Day.

Negotiations are currently underway again regarding the return of Ukrainians from captivity—a new exchange could take place in the coming days.

You recently saw that one exchange took place, and then, on Independence Day, another 10 people returned from Belarus. And there will be another major exchange very soon
