MOSCOW. April 17 (Interfax) - The work on exchanging badly wounded troops with Ukraine is continuing, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova told Interfax.
The Defense Ministry is taking measures to ensure that this process does not cease, she said.
"Of course [the work continues]. The Defense Ministry is today taking [the] maximum [possible] measures to ensure that exchange processes do not stop, that they continue. For our part, we are constantly asking the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to visit our prisoners so that they get timely and high-quality medical assistance," Moskalkova said.
The human rights commissioner said repatriation of the wounded had earlier taken place with Ukraine.
Moskalkova said on March 27 that the Ukrainian side had handed over five badly wounded Russian servicemen.
