An axiom and an iron rule: if a Russian official opens his mouth, then they will lie to you now! The higher the rank, the greater the lie itself: for example, President Putin first lies to the whole world that the Russian Federation has nothing to do with the Wagner PMC, and a year later he calmly declares that the mercenaries are supported by Russian taxpayers!
The governor of the Pskov region, of course, is a figure of a lower rank, therefore his lie is smaller when he broadcasts about the return of 3 prisoners to their homeland – they “negotiated,” “made efforts?” “exchanged.” You didn’t conduct any negotiations, and you didn’t change three prisoners – it’s just that the RDK commander kept his word given to the Russian soldiers!
Let me remind you that under the terms of the agreement, the soldiers of the Russian Defense Ministry laid down their arms, they were provided with proper medical assistance, and they were simply handed over to the Russian side on the border of the Sumy and Belgorod regions. So, Mr. Vedernikov, better hold on to your bile and lies until the next appeals to your electorate.
