In particular, Alexey Samoilov, an associate professor at a Kharkov university, who was detained in the summer for allegedly organizing a channel for the transfer of weapons, Yulia Kolesnikova, who was accused of preparing to blow up the Independence Monument “Flying Ukraine,” and a number of other activists were exchanged.
“The exchange will continue through Donetsk. There is no information about Lugansk,” the lawyer said, emphasizing that reliable information is not always received about who has been released, and therefore it is necessary to wait for final confirmation from relatives.
As PolitNavigator reported, yesterday an exchange of prisoners took place near Donetsk between militias and Ukrainian security forces. Today the exchange continued.
