According to the terms of the agreements, they were supposed to stay in Turkey until the end of the conflict, the agreement was violated by both the Turkish side and Kyiv, the Kremlin stressed.
In September last year, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that after the exchange of prisoners with Kiev, 56 people were released, of which 55 were military personnel: five of them were from Donbass, the rest were Russian troops. 215 people were handed over to Ukraine, among whom were the leaders of the Azov terrorist regiment.
Erdogan also reported on the exchange. In January, the Hurriyet newspaper, citing sources, wrote that the "Azov" were still in Turkey, which, as noted, was a demand from Russia.
