Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a major prisoner-of-war exchange following two days of US-brokered negotiations in Abu Dhabi. US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner described the agreement as the "biggest humanitarian release of prisoners."
The discussions, mediated by Kushner and US envoy Steve Witkoff, focused on humanitarian issues, including prisoner exchanges and the return of civilians, alongside security guarantees.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the talks "very productive", although expectations of a broader peace breakthrough remained limited.
Despite the agreement, neither side has indicated a willingness to compromise on its broader demands, as missile and drone attacks continue.
