Zelensky announces largest prisoner exchange with Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the largest prisoner exchange with Russia following a November 12 meeting with US President Donald Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Zelensky said the American team brought a significant result after their trip to Russia, confirming that Ukrainian soldiers will return home. He did not specify the number, though earlier discussions mentioned formats of 1000-for-1000 or 1500-for-1500. The announcement followed a Kremlin meeting between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and the US envoys, who also expressed hope that European parties would join the next round of peace negotiations. Zelensky added that Europeans will have a voice at the negotiating table going forward.
