At a joint press conference after the Normandy Four leaders' meeting, speaking to journalists, Volodymyr Zelensky recalled the missing equipment on ships seized in the Kerch Strait. The President of Ukraine also noted the steps already taken to achieve peace and the successfully conducted prisoner exchange.
Volodymyr Zelensky
President of UkraineAs for steps toward peace. We met, and that is a big step toward peace. If we did not want peace — someone would not have come. Vladimir Putin said that we had an exchange. Indeed, we called each other, agreed, we had an exchange, 35 for 35. And the ships were returned to us. Not entirely, though. But we are waiting.
On November 18, Russia handed over to Ukraine the ships seized in the Kerch Strait. The Ukrainian Navy stated that after the time the ships spent in Russia, equipment was missing: "they even removed the light fixtures, sockets, toilets."
