Ukraine working on 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange with Russia, Zelensky says

A prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine was underway on Friday during their ongoing war.
The swap followed an agreement reached last week in the first direct peace talks since Russia's 2022 invasion.
The two-hour meeting occurred in Turkey and yielded no breakthroughs in diplomatic efforts to end the fighting.
President Donald Trump stated the exchange was completed and would "go into effect shortly" on Truth Social.
The exchange signals a significant prisoner swap but Moscow did not immediately confirm its status, and the swap had not finished.
