KIEV, August 30.
/TASS/. The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) has said that the next prisoner
exchange between Kiev and Moscow would not take place on Friday, and its final
date was not yet determined.
"Not
today," SBU Spokesperson Yelena Gitlyanskaya told Ukraine’s Obozrevatel
(Observer) edition.
Commenting on reports
that the exchange could take place in Kiev’s Zhuliany airport any moment, she
noted: "We do not give any specific dates. I can say, however, that it
will not take place today. There is no final date yet."
Gitlyanskaya earlier
cautioned reporters from disseminating unverified information, saying that the
complicated negotiation process continued.
Later on, the
Ukrainian president’s office likewise refuted media reports, which asserted
that the exchange of detainees between Kiev and Moscow had come to an end,
stressing that the negotiation process was ongoing.
