In a conversation with Vladimir Kara-Murza* Jr. about the most important topic of any ceasefire negotiations: the release of war prisoners and political prisoners.

Why should the release clause be mandatory in any “peace plan”? Are exchanges realistic today—and why can’t the next big exchange wait decades? What is the international People First campaign, what are the letters from Nobel laureates and human rights activists about, and what role can European countries play (sanctions, frozen assets, pressure on the Kremlin)?

We also discuss why it is important to combine article-by-article amnesty and lists of names, so that “all for all” does not turn into “forgotten and abandoned.”

* The Russian authorities added “foreign agents” to the register.
