Militants have been sabotaging the process of detainee exchange, the speaker of the Presidential Administration Andrii Lysenko said at a traditional Monday briefing while answering journalists’ questions.

“The adversary does not cooperate. Large-scale exchange does not take place. The Ukrainian side has been trying to initiate these exchanges, but we have not seen response from the opponent in the past six weeks,” – said Lysenko.
