On the second day of peace talks in Abu Dhabi, Ukraine and Russia reached an agreement on a large-scale prisoner exchange, according to Ukrainian lead negotiator Rustem Umerov. The officials confirmed that they are now working on the specifics of the deal. Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who leads Russia's delegation, reiterated that a major prisoner swap was reached and details will be announced soon.
Ukraine had previously discussed the possibility of a 1,000-for-1,000 or 1,500-for-1,500 prisoner exchange format with Russia. This follows a similar 1,000-for-1,000 exchange in May 2025.
