Zelensky: Abu Dhabi talks explored 1,000-for-1,000 or 1,500-for-1,500 prisoner swap
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 that US representatives would travel to Russia with the exchange proposal on the agenda. Territorial issues were also raised by the Russian side, requiring leader-level decisions, with European representatives present at the talks. The first round of trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia negotiations in Abu Dhabi concluded on November 10, covering security guarantees and postwar arrangements. Zelensky announced further discussions on de-escalation, energy, the Black Sea, and a potential trilateral leaders' meeting for Wednesday.
