I was saying "so" because I have no idea what he was implying.

Have they actually done this, or has the designated knobber just mouthed off in Parliament? We've seen many examples of this through the conflict. I'm not sure why they do it, but it seems to be a practised routine.

It's not confirmed, just rumoured that they may do this right now, I think it's more tricky for Russia publicly & politically on the domestic side because it's Azov and how they've been portrayed as the personification of Nazi's so it's a bit weird invading to kill nazi's to then let nazi's go in a prisoner swap

Not done it yet. So far, just threats. They are going hard with the line that the azov battalion is nazi.
It would be for the internal audience though.
Russia - at least while Putin and Lavrov, etc. are at the top are past caring what the rest of the world thinks.
There is a chance they will sell the defeat of Azov as a victory and move to consolidate existing gains, in an attempt to wind down the war, but I'm not very confident Putin is looking for an off-ramp here as some want to believe.

Seeing how the Russian playbook works since 2014 the first thing the Russians will do is tourture those Azov commanders until one of them admits on camera they are Nazi's and confirm everything the Russian propaganda machine has been saying since February.
Ukranian government has put together virtual tours of war torn cities using drone footage.
It's pretty horrific, but you can view the virtual tours here:

Hostomel airport: https://kyivregiontours.gov.ua/en/war-tours/gostomel
Borodyanka: https://kyivregiontours.gov.ua/en/war-tours/borodanka
Horenka: https://kyivregiontours.gov.ua/en/war-tours/gorenka
Hopefully they can add some others like Kharkiv and Mariupol

War in the modern era is very very weird.
This is huge, the government must fully disclose all liinks the conservative party have to its Putin Paymaster. The conservative party is a national security risk....
“We are able to trace a clear line back from this donation to its ultimate source,” Barclays bank wrote in a January 2021 alert to the National Crime Agency. The bank, which maintained some of the accounts used in the transaction, flagged the donation as both suspected money laundering and a potentially illegal campaign donation.
Ukranian forces in Sumy sitting on the border say they are ready and willing to enter Russia to destroy the sites that are shelling Ukrainian cities but say they are waiting for an order to do so
dont buy a house on the main road.
That's mainly because Russians are idiots who think driving columns of tanks down a main road is a good idea. It would be a good idea if you weren't in a freakin war with an enemy looking to blow you up

Its quite interesting how some right wing parties seem to have links to Russia and/or Russian money, like the Tories, Trump and Marine le Pen. All seem to like using fake news and telling lies in much the same way

Well it ain't worked well for Putin in the UK. We have done more to ruin his day than most. Ukraine is still our friend too.
If there was a scandal to be made, I am sure Lavrov would be all over it.
It is and it isn't. Up until the invasion, rightly or wrongly Russia wasn't perceived as the enemy, pretty much as China isn't who has also donated to our political parties.
The more I look at this situation with stories of Putin being "drained of fluid," and "operations," the man is dying. The Russians clearly are going to let him have one last chance of creating a legacy then look to normalise relations with the west when he carks it in a few months by blaming him for all the madness.

Everyone has links to Russian money... Politics is politics.
When labour win next election I hope they get raked over too.
