Reopening of Russian ammonia exports through Ukraine could be possible only if Moscow hands back Ukrainian POWs – Zelensky
KYIV. Sept 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said on Friday he would only support the idea of reopening Russian ammonia exports through Ukraine if Moscow handed back Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) to Kyiv.
Zelensky said in an interview with Reuters he had proposed the arrangement to the United Nations, which has suggested resuming Russian ammonia across Ukraine to ease a global shortage of fertilizer.
"I am against supplying ammonia from the Russian Federation through our territory. I would only do it in exchange for our prisoners. This is what I offered the UN," he said in the interview at his presidential office.
Zelensky said that hundreds of Russian troops had been captured during Ukraine’s lightning counteroffensive in northeast Ukraine’s Kharkiv region.
