The occupiers planned to exchange collaborators for their prisoners. Documents have appeared that confirm these intentions of the Russians.
Russia wanted to exchange collaborators for its prisoners
It noted that the activists of "Cyber Resistance" gained access to the array of the Russian penitentiary service data at the TOT of Luhansk region, from which it is known about the plans of the Russians to exchange imprisoned collaborators for their prisoners.
It follows from these data that the prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation appealed to the head of the service in the temporarily occupied territories regarding the provision of lists for the possible exchange of imprisoned collaborators to Ukraine.
It is interesting that the list of those who have been in the corners of Russian prisons for a long time due to the internal strife of the occupiers includes those whose arrest was not officially reported and they were officially at liberty recently, the National Resistance Center (NRC) states.
