The lists for the prisoner exchange with Ukraine, scheduled for September 7, included 24 sailors arrested after the incident in the Kerch Strait, and 11 more convicted, including director Oleg Sentsov.

This was reported by Interfax according to an informed source. According to him, initially Moscow and Kyiv agreed to exchange "35 for 35", but by September 7, these numbers may change.

The extradition to Ukraine of Stanislav Klykh and Nikolai Karpyuk, who were sentenced in Russia to long terms on charges of participating in hostilities in Chechnya, remains questionable. It is also unclear whether two CSS officers who were detained after the “Kerch incident” and are accused of directing the actions of three Ukrainian ships will be extradited to Ukraine.

In mid-July, Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Lyudmila Denisova and Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia Tatyana Moskalkova exchanged lists of prisoners in Russia and Ukraine. The list from the Ukrainian ombudsman included 150 people, the list of the Russian ombudsman - 34. Later, the press secretary of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Larisa Sargan said about the preparation of the exchange "35 for 35".
On August 21, eight Ukrainian prisoners were transferred from the regional institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service to Moscow.
Russian security services found Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov guilty of plotting terrorist attacks in Crimea. On August 25, 2015, he was sentenced to 20 years in a strict regime colony.
