The fate of the new prisoner exchange depends on US guarantees: OP commented on the progress of negotiations

The Office of the President of Ukraine has essentially confirmed Putin’s statements that the new prisoner exchange has not yet been agreed upon.

As media reports citing the Office of the President, «agreements on the exchange were reached through US mediation, so its implementation depends on whether the US side can guarantee the fulfillment of these agreements».

Currently, according to the publication’s source, «active contacts between the parties on this issue are ongoing».

At the same time, Zelenskyy’s representatives refute Putin’s claims that Ukraine is not ready for a prisoner exchange.

The source on Bankova does not specify what exactly the problem is.

Possibly, it’s about the fact that there is no agreement yet on specific individuals from the exchange list.

At the same time, it is noticeable that the OP is placing responsibility on the Americans. According to Bankova’s version, it is they who must guarantee the exchange.

The same is reported by sources from another Ukrainian media outlet.

«Now the question is up to the US, whether they are able to guarantee what was discussed», - the publication quotes a source on Bankova.
