Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko has stated that the Ukrainian side is preparing another prisoner exchange and hopes it will be large-scale.

“We are really preparing another swap. We still believe that it will be possible to complete all-for-all prisoner exchange in the near future,” he said at a joint press conference with his Czech counterpart Tomáš Petříček in Prague, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

The Ukrainian foreign minister has added he hopes that it will be possible to return a large number of Crimean Tatars. According to Prystaiko, that issue was discussed with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday, February 3, during his visit to Kyiv.
