Zelensky spoke about a possible prisoner exchange and further negotiations with Russia

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that during the negotiations in Abu Dhabi, they discussed a possible exchange of prisoners in the format of 1,000 for 1,000 or 1,500 for 1,500.

The head of state stated this during a conversation with journalists.

“We talked with the team. Tomorrow is their big day. Today we discussed the possibility of an exchange. They want to do a thousand for a thousand, maybe one and a half for one and a half. Some kind of big exchange. The Americans will go to Russia with this agenda,” Zelensky said.

The President also reported that the Russian delegation raised the territorial issue. At the same time, he emphasized that it should be discussed at the level of leaders.

According to Zelensky, on November 11, the parties plan to discuss de-escalation measures, energy issues, the situation in the Black Sea, and the exchange of prisoners in more detail. They will also consider the possibility of holding a trilateral meeting at the leadership level.

Separately, the head of state emphasized the importance of Europe’s participation in the negotiation process and the formation of a common position between Ukraine, the EU, and the US.

Recall, earlier there was information about an agreement on a large-scale prisoner exchange during the talks in Abu Dhabi. This was reported by Radio Liberty, citing a source in the Ukrainian delegation. At the same time, Zelenskyy has now confirmed the discussion of possible formats of the exchange, but not its final approval.
