ABU DHABI – Russian and Ukrainian negotiators agreed to a major prisoner exchange at two days of peace talks in Abu Dhabi that ended on Wednesday, but U.S. mediators said differences remained on major issues, including territory.
At their first negotiations in nine months, the two countries agreed, in principle, to exchange prisoners of war and to determine the numbers on Thursday.
U.S. envoy Jared Kushner said the new swap would be the “biggest humanitarian release of prisoners” in the 4?-year-old war, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said its scope would be “significant.”
