KIEV, June 25. /ITAR-TASS/. Ukrainian authorities launched an exchange of prisoners of war with the country’s south-eastern regions as the violent domestic conflict continues to rage across Ukraine, Acting Defense Minister Mykhailo Koval said on Wednesday.

Koval said that over ten people were freed as a result of the exchange plan, proposed earlier by recently elected President Petro Poroshenko.

“Everything goes in line with the scheduled plan, and there are no disruptions,” Koval said.
