The Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine didn't agree on the next swap of prisoners during the meeting, since the representatives of certain parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts blocked the swap process, said spokesperson for the group's Ukrainian representative Leonid Kuchma Darka Olifer.

“The issue of the release of prisoners still remains blocked by representatives of certain areas of the Donetsk region and the Luhansk region,” she wrote on her Facebook page late on Jan. 27 after the Trilateral Contact Group meeting came to an end.
