On December 25, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia told reporters that Kiev and the self-proclaimed republics of the DPR and the LPR had agreed on the upcoming process of exchanging prisoners of war. The exchange will take place on December 27, reports the TASS.

The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church stressed that the list did not include all those who are in captivity and expressed hope for the continuation of the dialogue.

"I hope that the exchange of prisoners that will take place will start this process, because not all those who are still in captivity for a while are included in the lists," said Patriarch Kirill. "And I sincerely hope that this first stage will continue with further efforts to release all those in prison."

On November 15, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, at the request of His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufry of Kiev and All Ukraine, asked the leadership of the Russian Federation to help in the release of prisoners of war. The Security Service of Ukraine reported that it welcomed the efforts of the Primate of the ROC in the liberation of prisoners.
