Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova admits that Vadim Shishimarin, convicted of violating the customs of war of the military of the Russian Federation, can later be exchanged, but emphasizes that Ukraine will strictly comply with the law.

Venediktova announced this on the air of the national telethon on May 24.

" You can exchange a person after the verdicts of the courts. Yes, it's technically possible. But I don’t want to get involved in the exchange processes, because this is already politics and diplomacy, I want to remain in my competence as a prosecutor and talk about the objective things of criminal justice,” she said..

The Prosecutor General emphasized that Ukraine will move purely in the legal field under the standards of international humanitarian law.
