The American president revealed who had a hand in the exchange.
U.S. President Donald Trump has spoken out about the recent prisoner exchange on the Belarus-Poland border that saw the release of the leader of the Union of Poles in Belarus, journalist Anjay Poczobut.
"We just secured the release of three Polish and two Moldovan prisoners from Belarusian and Russian detention facilities. Thanks to my Special Presidential Envoy John Cole, we were able to work hard to make this release happen.
My friend, Polish President Karol Nawrocki, met with me last September and asked me to help free Andrzej Poczobut from a Belarusian prison. Today, Poczobut is free because of our efforts. The United States is keeping its promises to its allies and friends."
At the end of the message, Trump thanked Lukashenko.
We recall that Andrzej Poczobut was released as a result of exchange on the Belarusian-Polish border on a five-for-five formula.
