Ukraine working on 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange with Russia, Zelensky says
- Ukraine and Russia began a prisoner exchange on May 23, 2025, involving 1,000 captives each amid their ongoing war.
- This exchange followed direct peace talks held the week of May 11 in Istanbul, which marked their first negotiation in over three years.
- The swap will unfold over several days with multiple Ukrainian agencies coordinating, while Moscow has received Ukraine's final detainee list but confirms complexity.
- President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the prisoner swap "was just completed" and "would go into effect shortly," though details remain unclear.
- The exchange represents the largest of the conflict but did not produce a ceasefire, reflecting ongoing tensions despite a possible next round of talks after completion.
