“The main thing is that such negotiations never go public, they require silence. The basis of these talks is the lack of publicity. In this regard, there were certain agreements, and we adhere to these agreements,” Natalya Eismont said.

The swap of prisoners from Russia, the US, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Norway and Belarus took place in Ankara.
