It’s a Lie, It’s Absolute Fabrication: Zakharova

Statements about the Russian side's refusal to include Ukrainian marines in exchange lists are false, with 29 marines already included in those lists. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, during a briefing on the topic of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

“We have heard both publicly and during all those vigilant sessions in Montreal that supposedly Russia is refusing to include Ukrainian marines in the exchange lists. This is a lie, it is absolute fabrication. We are ready to publish the lists, which include 29 individuals. These are precisely the Ukrainian marines that have been returned by the Russian side during exchanges,” she noted.
