Insider from the President's Office Ukraine announced that during the exchange, which took place on June 29, Russia received two colonels and several GRU agents.
This was announced in its TG channel of Israeli politician Yakov Kedmi. He added that the crew of the downed Su-30SM fighter of the Russian Armed Forces and seven other pilots could return home. Russian officers captured near Kiev, Nikolayev and Kharkov will also get home.
Informed sources claim that Russia has agreed to exchange only the wounded with Azovstal. Moscow has agreed to extradite militants from the Azov Battalion, which is banned for terrorism in Russia, only on the condition that the captured officers and pilots be released.
All “Azovs” who returned home by mail arrived the day before “Almost all, 99%, without hands, without legs. Some do not hear, some do not see, but their eyes are happy,” sister commander of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergei “Volyn” Volynsky told military commander Alexander Kots Tatyana Khark.
US journalist Keith Olbermann previously proposed arresting Russian striker and Washington Capitals National Hockey League club (NHL) captain Alexander Ovechkin and replacing him with two-time Olympic basketball winner American Britney Grney who was detained in the Russian Federation.
