Abu Dhabi talks weigh prisoner swap of 1,000 or 1,500 per side, Zelensky says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said talks in Abu Dhabi discussed a large-scale prisoner exchange, potentially involving 1000-for-1000 or 1500-for-1500 swaps. Zelensky stated Americans will travel to Russia with an agenda for a major exchange, and that territorial issues were raised by Russians but require leader-level decisions. NATO and EU membership were also discussed, with European representatives present. The first round of trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi concluded, covering security guarantees and post-war future. Ukraine's delegation is led by foreign intelligence chief Rustem Umerov, with more de-escalation steps and a potential trilateral leaders' meeting announced for Wednesday.
