"I knew from the beginning that Andrzej Poczobut would not be included in this exchange," Bartosz Wielinski of Gazeta Wyborcza, a friend of his, said in "Facts after Facts" on TVN24. As he added, "at 1 point it was close" to his release, but "something happened along the way." He indicated that it might be related to Sergei Lavrov's visit to Minsk. - Even if he didn't want to come back, it's essential to just get him out of there, due to the fact that he's just going to die, he added.
