Russia’s human rights ombudswoman has agreed to look into reports that certain Crimean officers being held hostage in Ukraine have been branded as “unexchangeable” by Kiev authorities and may face death.

While speaking to journalists Tuesday, Tatiana Moskalkova disclosed that Russia and Ukraine had executed a prisoner exchange in “86 to 86 format.”

Moskalkova also disclosed that a list of Crimean officers was given to her who were, according to Ukraine, “unexchangeable”. The ombudswoman expressed that she feared their execution as a result.

“I will check, make inquiries with the Ukrainian side, check with international bodies,” Moskalkova said.

She added that she would send footage and evidence made publicly available to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and to the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe “so that the whole world knows the truth.”
