DONETSK. Dec 30 (Interfax) - The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) still hopes to exchange prisoners with Kyiv before Christmas.
"The will of [Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko will be enough for the release of all these guys. Hopefully, this decision will be made, we will conduct the long-awaited 'all for all' prisoner swap on Christmas Eve, and our guys will go home to their families," DPR ombudsman Darya Morozova told reporters on Friday.
It was reported on Thursday that Kyiv had unilaterally transferred 15 prisoners to the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR).
