The next stage of mutual release of citizens is being prepared, Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova announced.

“The exchange will take place this week. The talks are currently ongoing. In particular, the date and lists of citizens are being negotiated," she said in a video address.

According to Denisova, the mutual exchange is complicated by quarantine. The citizens, who will return to Ukraine, will be required to undergo mandatory observation.

As reported, the Office of the President of Ukraine stated after the meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group held in the format of video conference on April 8 that the principled agreement on the lists for mutual exchange of detainees and the date of exchange – not later than on Easter – had been reached.

On April 10, Vice Prime Minister – Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories Oleksiy Reznikov said that the residents of Crimea had not been included in the lists of prisoners who would be exchanged.

On April 13, Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova informed that a new phase of “all for all” detainee exchange would be held this week and everyone who returns would undergo a mandatory two-week observation.
