“Here Russia demands parity, say, border guards for border guards, sailors for sailors, and I have a logical question: who will we replace the mayors, who are already 14 hostages of Russia? So far we are solving this issue internationally,” she said.
It will be recalled that the first full-fledged exchange of prisoners between Ukraine and Russia took place on March 24. Ukraine has returned 19 Ukrainian civilian sailors from the Sapphire rescue ship and 10 servicemen.
