Major Prisoner Exchange Agreed Upon by Russia and Ukraine

Russia and Ukraine have concluded negotiations with a significant agreement: a large-scale prisoner exchange of 1000 for 1000 soldiers is imminent. This development follows a request by Ukraine for direct talks between presidents, which Russia has accepted. Both nations are expected to present their plans for a possible ceasefire. "We are satisfied with the results and ready to continue contacts," stated Medinsky, head of the Russian delegation. This exchange represents a crucial step towards potential de-escalation and peace negotiations.
