Delegations from the United States, Ukraine and Russia have agreed to exchange 314 prisoners, U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said today. In a social media post, Witkoff announced that this outcome was achieved from peace talks that had been detailed and productive, while significant work remained to end the war. He added that his is the first such exchange in the last five months.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, today said that there was progress and a positive movement forward in talks on how to end the four-year war. Yesterday, Kyiv’s lead negotiator had called the first day of new U.S.-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi productive. However, the envoy did not give details on how many prisoners each country would exchange.
