US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff concluded two days of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi with Russia and Ukraine, resulting in an agreement for a large-scale prisoner exchange. The discussions, the first since February, were described as challenging, with Ukrainian negotiator Davyd Arakhamia noting strict directives from the Russian side. The US envoys are set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow before traveling to Dublin to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. While the talks did not produce a major breakthrough, both sides acknowledged some progress on humanitarian issues and security guarantees for Ukraine. The ongoing conflict has seen continued Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, complicating the negotiation landscape. The prisoner exchange is expected to involve between 1,000 and 1,200 individuals, although specific details are yet to be finalized.
