<p>The Government of Ukraine is responsible for negotiations with Russia on the exchange
of Prisoners of War and we are working closely with the Ukrainians to secure the release
of all British National Prisoners of War held by Russian proxies in eastern Ukraine.
The UK Government is also in regular contact with international partners, including
NATO Allies, about violations of International Humanitarian Law by Russia and Russian
proxies, including their treatment of Prisoners of War and civilian detainees. British
Nationals detained by Russian forces and its proxies must be treated in accordance
with International Humanitarian Law, including the Geneva Conventions. The UK Government
has raised this issue with the Russian authorities and reminded them of their obligations
under International Humanitarian Law.</p>
