KYIV – Large-scale prisoner exchanges have been the only tangible result of three rounds of talks between Russia and Ukraine, between May and July – with the most recent taking place on Sunday. Three civilian women from the Donetsk region who were released on 14 August testified to the torture they endured in Russian prisons over six years of captivity.
Yuliia Panina, Maryna Berezniatska and Svitlana Holovan made their way to the stage to loud applause from the audience of a few dozen, gathered for a press conference in Kyiv on Friday.
