Ukraine Refuses to Take 273 of Its Own PoWs as Part of Swap — Russian Human Rights Commissioner
07:20 GMT 13.08.2026 (Updated: 07:45 GMT 13.08.2026) The Russian side has sent Ukraine three different lists of people for swaps — these include soldiers, as well as those convicted of various charges in Russia, Russian Commissioner on Human Rights Yana Lantratova says.
She published a list of 273 Ukrainian soldiers whom Russia is ready to return as part of an exchange. The oldest prisoner was born in 1966, Sputnik has learned from the released documents.
Previously the list of 224 people has already been agreed upon, but Ukraine refuses to take them, she explains, adding that most of them have been in Russia since 2022.
"The Ukrainian authorities, who refuse to take back their own convicted citizens, in reality treat them as expendable material. It is they who feed them hope through video messages but do not give the go-ahead for an exchange," Lantratova says.
