Ukraine, Russia prepare 1,000 prisoner of war exchange after Istanbul talks

A large-scale prisoner exchange involving 1,000 captives each from Ukraine and Russia may take place next week, Ukrainian intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said Saturday following peace negotiations in Istanbul.

“I hope it will happen next week,” Budanov told Ukrainian broadcaster TSN. “There will be an exchange — whoever we can take, we will take. And give it back in the same way,” he said, that was cited by Interfax-Ukraine.
