Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a large-scale prisoner exchange following two days of US-mediated peace talks in Abu Dhabi, although the number of prisoners involved has yet to be confirmed.
US envoy Jared Kushner described the negotiations as a productive first step, saying progress had been made on security guarantees, ceasefire monitoring and post-war arrangements. He said he and Steve Witkoff would travel to Moscow to brief Russian President Vladimir Putin before meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Dublin.
But major disagreements remain over territory, particularly Russia's demands concerning the Donbas region. The discussions also highlighted calls to include European countries in future negotiations, as questions remain over Ukraine's post-war security.
Al Jazeera's Dmitri Medvedenko reports from Abu Dhabi.
