The head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, said that a new prisoner exchange is being prepared, which could take place by the end of next week, Ukrinform reported, quoted by BTA.

"I hope that somewhere towards the end of the week there will be another stage", Budanov said, after Ukraine announced yesterday that it had returned 175 servicemen and 7 civilians from Russian captivity.

According to the Ukrainian representative, the process was delayed due to "purely bureaucratic procedures".
