03 June, 18:40

Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova officially announced Russia's purported readiness to exchange two captured clergymen of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) for representatives of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP).

This was reported by the News of Zaporizhzhia.

The statement likely refers to two priests from Berdyansk, Ivan Levytsky and Bohdan Geleta, of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

As usual for the Russian side, the statement was accompanied by manipulations and accusations against Ukraine, alleging that it has ignored requests for the exchange of both the clergymen and 500 Ukrainian military personnel held captive.

The report even included a quote from the Kremlin's captives, expressing the clergymen's sole desire to see their families as soon as possible.
