The Ukrainian Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War confirms that 65 Ukrainian defenders from a list published by Russian media were indeed scheduled to be returned to Ukraine as part of the planned exchange on January 24. Previously, some of the names on the list were said to be identified as POW's exchanged in early January.
@noelreports I really hope they weren't on that downed plane, after all. 😔 🇺🇦

@CarringtonTV @noelreports If they were, I would expect Russia to encourage media and investigators to visit the crash site, perform DNA testing, etc. They would be very vocal and unusually transparent. Instead, it seems they are hiding something, so the POW story is unlikely.
