Russia and Ukraine agree major prisoner swap after Abu Dhabi talks

Russia and Ukraine have reached an agreement on a large‑scale prisoner exchange following two days of US‑mediated negotiations in Abu Dhabi.

The talks, held in the United Arab Emirates, concluded without any breakthrough on a ceasefire or settlement of territorial and long‑term security issues, with both sides remaining divided on those matters.

While the prisoner swap marks a significant development, the broader conflict between the two nations continues, as negotiations on ending the war stalled.
