Ukraine working on 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange with Russia, Zelensky says

  • On Friday, a senior Ukrainian official reported that Russia and Ukraine were in the process of carrying out a prisoner swap related to their conflict lasting over three years.
  • The prisoner exchange was confirmed following the recent inaugural face-to-face peace discussions between Russia and Ukraine, held in Turkey, marking the first such talks since the early stages of Moscow's 2022 invasion.
  • A senior Ukrainian official, speaking anonymously and without authorization, confirmed the exchange was ongoing but not yet finished, while Moscow had not confirmed it.
  • President Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that a major prisoner swap was completed and would "go into effect shortly," though the meaning was unclear.
  • The prisoner exchange marks a significant event in the prolonged conflict but brought no breakthrough in diplomatic efforts to end the fighting.
