Ukraine is working to resume the exchange of prisoners with Russia, hoping for the release of 1,200 Ukrainians, President Volodymyr Zelensky and his security council chief said.
We are ... counting on the resumption of exchanges, Zelensky said in a video posted on the Telegram messaging app on Sunday. Many meetings, negotiations and calls are now devoted to this.
His security chief, Rustem Umerov, said on Saturday he had held consultations in Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, with the support of Kyivs partners, on resuming the process of exchanges.
