Russia publishes list of 224 Ukrainian POWs it says it is ready to swap amid dispute with Kyiv
Russia said it proposed three exchange lists after Kyiv rejected the latest 224-name roster, as both sides accuse each other of blocking prisoner swaps.
- On Wednesday, Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova published a list of 224 Ukrainian prisoners of war, claiming Moscow is ready for a swap but that Kyiv has rejected the proposed candidates.
- The dispute follows Monday accusations from the project "I Want to Find," a Ukrainian government-backed organization, which claimed Moscow excludes POWs from Russian-held Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
- Responding on Telegram, Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine's parliamentary commissioner for human rights, characterized the rejection claim as "cynical lies," stating "Ukraine is always committed to bringing back every one of its citizens."
- At an informal Security Council meeting on Monday, a U.N. official reported "widespread and systematic torture" of detainees by the Russian Federation, though abuse of Russian POWs by Ukraine occurs on a "fundamentally different scale."
- Dmytro Lubinets reported that Russian forces have executed at least 345 Ukrainian soldiers since the war began; investigations suggest these killings appear to be systematic military policy, with intercepted orders to "shoot prisoners on the spot.
