Medinsky outlined three major outcomes: a large-scale prisoner exchange, a possible leaders’ summit, and the next steps toward a ceasefire agreement.
He announced that both sides had agreed to a significant prisoner swap involving 1,000 individuals from each side, set to occur in the coming days. Additionally, he acknowledged Ukraine’s request for direct talks between President Vladimir Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, noting that Russia had taken the proposal under consideration.
