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

  • On Friday, May 23, Ukraine and Russia initiated their biggest prisoner exchange of the conflict, agreeing to swap 1,000 detainees from each side.
  • The exchange followed direct negotiations held the week of May 11 in Istanbul, marking the first peace talks since the 2022 Russian invasion.
  • Ukrainian officials announced that the prisoner exchange has begun and is expected to take place gradually over multiple days, while Moscow has yet to fully acknowledge the operation.
  • President Donald Trump announced the swap’s completion on Truth Social, calling it "perhaps the only tangible result" of the Istanbul meeting.
  • Although the exchange signifies progress, neither side indicated plans for a ceasefire, and broader diplomatic efforts have yielded no breakthrough yet.
