Russia to present peace accord draft after prisoner exchange, Lavrov

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced on May 9, 2025, at a Kremlin meeting in Moscow with Egypt's President el-Sisi that Russia plans to present a peace accord draft to Ukraine after completing a prisoner exchange.
This announcement follows a prisoner swap agreement arranged in recent talks in Turkey and amid the ongoing three-year war between Moscow and Kyiv marked by renewed drone attacks.
The conflict recently escalated with around 800 Ukrainian drones striking Russian targets over three days, causing casualties and air disruptions, while both sides released 390 prisoners each on Friday.
Lavrov indicated that once the ongoing prisoner swap concludes, Russia will be prepared to provide Ukraine with a preliminary version of a long-term peace agreement, underscoring Moscow’s dedication to negotiations.
The planned draft aims to establish a long-term settlement, suggesting Russia’s intention to continue diplomatic efforts despite recent attacks and tensions involving European support for Ukraine.
