British prisoners of war ask to be exchanged for Putin’s friend

The British prisoners of war, Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner, today addressed the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, with the request to be exchanged for the pro-Russian politician close to the Kremlin, Victor Medvedchuk, detained in Ukraine.
“Mr Boris Johnson, as far as I know, Victor Medvedchuk is in detention. Aiden Aslin and I would like to be exchanged for him. We will be grateful to him for his help,” Pinner said in a video broadcast by Rossiya 1 TELEVISION.

The British soldier, who was captured by Russian forces like Aslin in the besieged port city of Mariupol (Donetsk), said his captors treat him well.
Medvedchuk himself, close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and currently detained by kiev authorities, asked on Monday through a video to be exchanged for Ukrainian civilians and soldiers resisting in Mariupol.
In the video, the leader of the Ukrainian opposition party Platform for Life addressed Ukrainian and Russian Presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and Putin to ask them to authorize a prisoner exchange between him and “defenders and residents” in that city bathed by the Sea of Azov.
