Oekraïne bereid tot gevangenenruil drie op één

Oekraïne is bereid drie separatisten te ruilen tegen één Oekraïense gevangene. ''We willen er alles aan doen om onze jongens weer thuis te krijgen'', zei directeur Vasil Hritsak van de staatsveiligheidsdienst SBOe er vanmiddag over tijdens een bezoek aan de stad Karamatorsk. Hij sprak de hoop uit dat priesters mee gaan helpen om zoveel mogelijk gevangenen vrij te krijgen.

Er zit momenteel geen schot in bij het ruilen van elkaars gevangenen. Volgens Irina Gerasjtsjenko, ondervoorzitter van het parlement en onderhandelaar in Minsk, ligt dat aan de separatisten die volledige amnestie eisen voor 600 van hen.
