Another detainee exchange takes place in eastern Ukraine

On 16 April 2020, Kyiv and separatist authorities in Donetsk and Luhansk conduct another exchange of conflict-related detainees, following the Paris discussions.

Ukraine’s presidency announces the return of twenty people. Reports from the day and OSCE mediation document the operation, organised while public health restrictions complicate contacts.

The number returning to Ukraine is attributed to the presidency. The exchange does not mean all commitments on detainee releases have been implemented.
