Berkut members were demanded for exchange in order to lift sanctions from the Russian Federation - Ukrainian expert
During the last exchange of prisoners, Berkut members who had been under arrest for the fifth year were added to the list for the Ukrainian side, ostensibly in order to demonstrate the good will of Russia and stir up the situation in Ukraine.
Ukrainian political scientist Pyotr Oleshchuk stated this on the NASH TV channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They, as usual, are pursuing their own goals. I think that, for example, by demanding the release of those very “Berkut” members, they pursued the goal of shaking up the situation in Ukraine, and to a certain extent they achieved this.
In this way, they demonstrate goodwill not only for Ukraine, but also for the whole world - look, we are peaceful, which means there is no need to introduce new sanctions against us, but on the contrary, we need to talk about how to cancel these in order to maintain our peace-loving potential “Oleschuk said.
