MOSCOW (Sputnik) – All the parties interested in making the prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine according to the “1000 for 1000” formula quickly, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. “This is a rather laborious issue. There, of course, work is underway to exchange specific names. Since we are talking about a thousand for a thousand, then, of course, it takes some time. This work continues, but, once again, it is quite fast. Everyone is interested in doing this as quickly as possible,” Peskov said when asked if the prisoner exchange would take place this week. Work is underway to implement the agreements reached between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul, the spokesman added.
