According to the president, Moscow does not feel that this gives them anything.

Russia has halted the prisoner exchange with Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this during a conversation with journalists, according to Ukrayinska Pravda .

“The Russians have stopped the process. They’re not particularly interested in exchanging people because they don’t feel it benefits them. They think it benefits us. But I think they also need to think about their own people, their own military,” Zelenskyy said.

  1. A lie. Im thinking that they have none to exchange, or very few, as those orcs that could even get close enough to defensive positions to take Ukrainian prisoners are immediately taken out by drones, at 1500/ day…

    • I agree with Sir Cap; good point, Mike. But, there’s another possibility. The potato generals finally figured out that one Ukrainian is worth ten roaches, so they’re not getting a fair deal if the exchange is one against one.
