Ukraine has proposed to Russia that badly injured defenders in the Azovstal plant in the port of Mariupol be swapped for Russian prisoners of war, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said on Wednesday.
“There is no agreement yet. Negotiations are continuing,” she said in an online post.
She says the government has been working on different options to rescue fighters trapped in the Azovstal plant but “none of them are ideal”.
“We are not looking for an ideal option, but a working one,” Vereshchuk said.
