Stay updated on the latest developments in the Ukraine conflict as both sides reach an agreement on a significant prisoner exchange. Read on to find out details about the exchange categories, upcoming swap quantities, and the status of a possible comprehensive ceasefire.
In a breakthrough during the Istanbul talks, Ukraine and Russia have agreed to trade 1,200+ prisoners each [2][3][4]. This agreement includes exchanging all severely wounded, ill, and young soldiers aged 18 to 25. The number could potentially reach 1,400 prisoners for each side [2][3][5].
While this represents a major step forward, no agreement has been made on a full, unconditional ceasefire. Russia proposed a temporary ceasefire in specific regions for the safe retrieval of bodies, but Ukraine continues to push for a broader end to hostilities [3][5]. Let's hope this exchange signals further advances towards a lasting peace.
