U.S.-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine yielded an agreement for a significant prisoner exchange, according to officials from the meetings in Abu Dhabi. Jared Kushner, son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, stated that they are set to finalize the exact number of prisoners to be released tomorrow. Russian delegation head Vladimir Medinsky and Ukrainian delegation leader Rustem Umerov both confirmed the planned exchange.
The negotiations, after a nine-month lull, had not produced any substantial progress until now. The U.S. remains committed to reviving its peace efforts, which thus far have not shown much success. Kushner and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff plan to visit Moscow on Thursday to discuss matters with President Vladimir Putin, followed by a trip to Dublin to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
