We only provide this event, giving technical and medical assistance, and security. Decisions are not taken at the JFO’s headquarters,” he said, according to LB.ua. According to Sarantsev, “the president’s press service will provide photos and videos.”
At the same time, he added representatives of the JFO’s headquarters would not be able to attend the event as well.
As UNIAN reported earlier, participants in the Trilateral Contact Group on Donbas settlement agreed on the mutual release of held persons to be held before the end of the year.
According to Russian media, the “big swap” is scheduled for December 29.

WTF is goin’ on here?
Ukraine is being sold down the river by Zelensky. He had his orders from Putin, now he’s carrying them out.
ruSSkis dictating terms in Ukraine is getting really old.
We should never get used to it.
It seems we are not allowed to see who and how many exactly will be swapped. This stinks terribly! Zelensky is testing how far he can go. Too far for my taste already.
Russian media seem to know exactly what is happening. Ukraine will get 80 hostages back, for 130 assorted rapists, thieves and murderers.
