Talks in Abu Dhabi discussed the possibility of a large-scale prisoner exchange in a “1,000 for 1,000” or “1,500 for 1,500” format.
This was reported by Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a conversation with journalists.
“With this agenda, the Americans will travel to Russia,” the President noted.
He stressed the importance of Europe’s participation in the talks and the need for a common position shared by Ukraine, the EU and the United States.
The Russian side also raised the issue of territories, which, according to Zelenskyy, should be decided at the level of leaders.
“When I received the second report from our negotiating team after the meetings in Abu Dhabi, they said that the Russians believe and claim that they have already occupied half of Donbas, which is in fact under our control,” the President said.
The talks will continue tomorrow. Topics include de-escalation, energy, the Black Sea, exchanges and possible trilateral meetings at leaders’ level.
