Ukraine, US and Russia agree to pursue prisoner exchange as Donbas dispute remains unresolved
US-mediated trilateral talks between Ukraine, the United States and Russia in Abu Dhabi produced an agreement to continue work on a new prisoner exchange. Ukraine said it would not accept a peace deal requiring its forces to withdraw from Donbas and maintained that the territorial dispute should be addressed directly by the leaders. The delegations described the talks as constructive and productive, but substantial negotiations remain.
