The Russian Federation abandoned its citizens – Gerashchenko
The fact that there is no exchange of detainees between Ukraine and the Russian Federation is the fault of Moscow and the OSCE.
Iryna Gerashchenko, Vice Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada and Ukraine's representative to the Trilateral Contact Group, announced this on her Facebook page , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“Russian “ichtamnets” can continue to write tearful letters to Putin. On the rail. The Russian Federation abandoned them. She categorically refused to discuss the transfer of Russians to the Kremlin’s political prisoners – Ukrainians. Both within the humanitarian subgroup and within the TCG. OSCE coordinators, unfortunately, play along with this destructive position, saying that these should be bilateral negotiations.
Although, as for me, instead of publishing strange and unrealistic “peace plans”, it would be better to make more efforts to get at least one hostage out, stop being afraid of the Kremlin and openly turn to the Russian Federation with a proposal to mediate in the process of releasing Russian criminals - for political prisoners.” , – wrote Gerashchenko.
As a reminder, PolitNavigator previously reported that supporters of the Kiev regime organized a picket in central Moscow and submitted an appeal to the Russian presidential administration demanding a prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine and the immediate release of all Ukrainian sailors.
