Ukraine and Russia have exchanged 300 prisoners of war from each side, bringing the total number of prisoners exchanged since yesterday, Thursday, to 500. The exchange took place under an agreement reached in recent negotiations in Geneva. According to Moscow, the United Arab Emirates and the United States participated in the mediation. Prisoner exchanges are the only tangible result of negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow since 2025, while a new trilateral meeting has been postponed due to the war in the Middle East.
