Ukraine and Russia executed a substantial prisoner swap involving 1,000 detainees, facilitated by recent direct negotiations for the first time in over three years amidst ongoing conflict. President Trump announced the completion of the exchange in a social media post, describing the event as a potential precursor to broader peace efforts. Although the talks in Istanbul did not yield a ceasefire agreement, the swap signifies a step towards reconciling tensions between the two nations. This exchange follows previous negotiations led by the United Arab Emirates and highlights ongoing efforts toward resolution.
President Trump confirmed in a Truth Social post just before 6 a.m. that a major prisoners swap was just completed between Russia and Ukraine.
The warring nations each agreed to swap 1,000 prisoners during a tense, two-hour talk in Istanbul last week, which failed to reach an agreement on a ceasefire.
