The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, expressed confidence that the country will be able to conduct a new exchange of prisoners of war with Russia in the near future. He stated this on air on a Ukrainian TV channel.

The last exchange was scheduled for January 24, but due to an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the event was disrupted.

There were 65 captured Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers on the plane. The Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate knew who was on board, noted Russian President Vladimir Putin.
