Ukraine extradites UOC-MP collaborator to return 101 Ukrainians from captivity - Main Intelligence Directorate

The representative of the Ukrainian Defence Intelligence Andriy Yusov stated this during the telethon.

"Yesterday, at the request of the other side and with its own consent, one collaborator, a so-called clergyman of the Moscow Patriarchate, who assisted the occupiers, gave out various information, helped to conduct the so-called pseudo-elections, was handed over to return our guys," the DIU representative said.

According to Andriy Yusov, Russia was the first to request the transfer of a collaborator from the UOC-MP, who was not opposed to it. Thus, Ukraine did not object because it helped to bring its citizens home.

• Recall, as a result of another exchange on February 16, 101 Ukrainian prisoners returned to Ukraine: 100 military and 1 civilian, the first deputy mayor of Enerhodar, Ivan Samoidyuk. According to Russian propagandists, the Russian side also returned 101 prisoners.
