Peskov’s Statement on Prisoner Swap with Ukraine – Vezir Agency
Official Statement from the Kremlin Spokesman
In a recent briefing, Dmitriy Peskov, the official spokesperson for the Kremlin, emphasized that there is currently no definitive figure regarding the number of Russian soldiers' remains that Ukraine is capable of delivering in the ongoing exchanges. He highlighted that the process of verifying and comparing the numbers is still underway, and until a clear consensus is reached, no finalized agreement can be made.
When asked about the prospects of future exchanges, Peskov stated, "There is no final understanding yet on how many Russian soldiers' remains Ukraine can deliver. Contacts are being made. The process of comparing numbers is continuing. However, once a final understanding is reached, we hope the exchange will be carried out."
European Diplomatic Signals and Russia's Position
Peskov also addressed the broader geopolitical context, asserting that Europe has yet to send any concrete signals indicating a willingness to engage in dialogue with Russia. He explained that Russia has been actively involved at the Ukrainian border for several days, specifically to facilitate the return of Ukrainian soldiers' remains, but no common ground has been established with European nations regarding future agreements.
He further criticized Europe's current stance, remarking that Europe appears preoccupied with the ongoing conflict and is displaying militaristic bravado. Despite this, Peskov noted that there are ongoing diplomatic contacts between Russia and the United States, which serve as channels to better understand each other's perspectives.
Recent Developments and Notable Visits
Peskov also commented on Elon Musk's father’s recent trip to Moscow, stating that Russia remains open to citizens from other countries wishing to visit or engage within its borders. Additionally, he mentioned that Vladimir Putin is scheduled to attend the inauguration of new healthcare facilities across various Russian regions today.
