Witkoff and Kushner prepare largest Ukraine-Russia prisoner swap

US President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have begun preparations for the largest prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia since the war began, the White House announced. Deputy White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly said on November 13 that Witkoff and Kushner, on Trump's orders, worked with both sides to end the conflict. They held a second round of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, met with Presidents Zelensky and Putin, and secured European partners' involvement in future discussions. The Abu Dhabi talks concluded November 11 with agreement on a large-scale prisoner swap. Witkoff and Kushner met Putin in the Kremlin for about two hours on November 12, then saw Zelensky in Dublin. Zelensky confirmed preparations for the "largest" prisoner exchange.
