The Russian military, who were captured in Ukraine, in accordance with international law, will be used to restore the economic potential of Ukraine and as an exchange fund, First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yevhen Enin has said.

"Ukraine acts strictly in accordance with international norms of humanitarian law, in particular the Geneva Convention, which is an integral part of the national legislation of Ukraine. Surely, these prisoners [Russian servicemen] will be used to the maximum in the future to restore the economic potential of our country and as perhaps an exchange fund," Enin said on the air of the national telethon on Saturday.

He said Ukraine undertakes to maintain them in accordance with the norms of international law ratified by Kyiv.
