Russia cancels new prisoner exchange round

Russia canceled at the last minute on Saturday a scheduled exchange of prisoners of war, the Ukrainian body dealing with prisoners said.
The Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War said on the Telegram messaging app, “Another round of exchange of prisoners was planned today with the Russian side. However, it was cancelled at the last moment at the initiative of the Russian side.”
Russia and Ukraine have conducted numerous prisoner swaps – most recently on Jan. 8 – amounting to hundreds of captives each in the course of the war, which is now in its 11th month.
On Saturday Moskalkova said on her Telegram messaging app that Russian soldiers had allegedly reported instances of extortion while in Ukrainian captivity.
