Ukraine prepares new prisoner swap with Russia, says Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that preparations are under way for a new prisoner exchange with Russia.

Zelenskyy said efforts are ongoing to organise the swap as part of continued negotiations between the two sides, Caliber.Az reports, citing Ukrainian media.

He also noted that talks with the United States are continuing via telephone. Kyiv is expecting the arrival of envoys linked to US President Donald Trump — Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff — for detailed discussions on ending the war.

At the same time, Zelenskyy indicated that Iran is currently a key focus for Washington.
