Ukraine, Russia Discuss Exchange of Up to 1,500 Prisoners Each as Moscow Raises Territory Issues

Ukrainian and Russian negotiating teams discussed exchanging either 1,000 or 1,500 prisoners of war (POWs) each on the first day of US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10, President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a press conference in Copenhagen. The second day of talks, on Nov. 11, is set to focus on de-escalation, energy, the Black Sea and a possible trilateral leaders’ meeting. Senior US envoy and US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner described the discussions as constructive. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Ukraine controls 20% of Donbas, not 10% as Moscow claims.
