The prisoner swap is expected to be one of the largest since the release of 1,000 soldiers last year.
Peace talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States resumed this week in the United Arab Emirates after being paused in February. The two days of talks, which lasted for a total of six hours, ended with an agreement by Russia and Ukraine to exchange a large number of prisoners of war. The swap is expected to be one of the largest since the release of 1,000 soldiers last year. The exchange is expected to take place in the next two to three weeks.
President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who joined Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in representing the U.S. in negotiations, stated, “We hope these discussions will identify areas of common ground, advance practical solutions, and build momentum toward the next phase of negotiations.”
He also said another important part of the process will be what comes “after the war,” including plans for economic recovery, security agreements, and the establishment of lasting peace. “The reality is, is there’s no trust right now between the sides. And that’s to be expected after a conflict like this.”
