Kushner confirms: Ukraine and Russia agree on large-scale prisoner exchange

US President Donald Trump's envoy Jared Kushner has confirmed that an agreement on a large-scale prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia was reached during trilateral peace talks in Abu Dhabi. However, the number of people to be included in the exchange is still being finalised.

According to TodayPress TV, Kushner made the remarks at a briefing following the negotiations.

“One positive outcome of this process is an agreement on the large-scale humanitarian release of detainees. We will agree on the exact numbers tomorrow,” Kushner emphasised.

Rustem Umerov, head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service and leader of the Ukrainian delegation, separately thanked the US special envoys. He noted that negotiations over recent months had resulted in significant progress, particularly on the issue of prisoner exchanges.

“There will be an exchange this time as well. As Jared noted, the exact number will be announced later,” Umerov said.
