Earlier, the head of the office of the Ukrainian President, Andrei Yermak, announced the plan to conduct the next stage of the exchange of the Donbass PoWs via the «all for all» formula during March of this year. “The statement is false — the Ukrainian side hasn’t confirmed a single person to us after the exchange. In fact — at this moment the formula «all confirmed for all confirmed» is practically absent due to the fact that there are currently no such people. The people who make such statements know about this as much as I do” — Daria Morozova told to the reporters. Constantine Reztsov, specially for ANNA NEWS.
