Russia and Ukraine Agree in Principle to Major Prisoner Exchange
US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi produced a proposed prisoner exchange, but no comprehensive agreement to end the war.
Russia and Ukraine have agreed in principle to a major prisoner exchange after two days of talks mediated by the United States in Abu Dhabi.
Negotiators described progress on the humanitarian arrangement, although the number of prisoners and the precise implementation schedule still require final agreement. The exchange has not yet taken place.
The discussions did not produce a wider peace settlement. Territorial control, security guarantees and the role of European governments remain major obstacles as fighting continues. The proposed exchange offers a limited humanitarian development rather than an end to the conflict.
