According to Eismant, the political prisoners pardoned by Lukashenka were sent to Ukraine in exchange for wounded Russians and Belarusians captured by Ukrainians who fought for Russia.
«The American side took nine foreign citizens with them today. And more than 100 people were sent to Ukraine — in exchange for Belarusians who were captured there — their relatives strongly pleaded with the president for them — and for wounded Russians,» Eismant said.
