MOSCOW, August 7. /TASS/. The thousands of prisoners of war that the Kiev regime removed from exchange lists do not include any officers with the majority of them being soldiers and sailors, a source in military diplomatic circles told TASS.
According to the source, there is not a single officer in the list, about 70% of them are soldiers, privates and sailors. Additionally, more than 140 individuals are from among the mobilized population.
