    That is also a good signal, that maybe not many Ukrainian POW are held by Russia at the moment. In the past, even Zelensky mentioned, they needed to capture more Russians to have some numbers for the POW exchange between the two countries.

    Full war camps in Ukraine could mean Russia has no one to exchange.

      Alternatively, it could be that Russia is refusing trades. Everyone knows that Russia can “out - meat” Ukraine, and they’ve just installed a system in which (civilian) prisoners in Russia will be voluntold to serve. We all know that Wagner was doing something similar, but now the MoD will be doing it, en masse.
