Ukraine and Russia are ready for the largest replacement of the prisoners, but there is little details

Russia and Ukraine had to take part in a major replacement for a prisoner on Friday, described as the largest of the full -scale Russian invasion in 2022.

Officials of both countries agreed to exchange 1000 prisoners of war in each, otherwise infertile Peaceful talks in Istanbul A week ago.

US President Donald Trump has previously posted his congratulations with the social platform of truth, saying that the swap was completed and that “could it lead to something big?”

However, there were no confirmations on both sides, and Ukrainian military sources reported only news agencies that the process is underway.

Confirmed reports suggested that the exchange could take place within three days on the Ukrainian border from Belarus.

The replacement was agreed in Turkey a week ago, when low -level delegations from Ukraine and Russia, for the first time since March 2022, faced face to face, although the meeting lasted only two hours and failed to make any progress against the ceasefire.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that there would be a second round of negotiations if Moscow will transfer the “memorandum” to the Ukrainian side.

Trump said earlier this week that Russia and Ukraine immediately “will start negotiations on the ceasefire and stop the war, after a two -hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Since then, Ukrainian colleague Putin Vladimir Zelensky Accused him of “trying to buy time” Continue the war.

Prime Minister of Italy Georgia Meloni supported the proposal from Trump That the Vatican could mediate negotiations on ceasefire negotiations, but Lavrov said it was “not a very realistic option”.

The Russian Foreign Minister repeated the unreasonable statement that Zelensky was not a legal leader, and suggested that the new elections should be held before the potential future peace agreement is signed.

Asked if Russia is ready to sign the deal, Lavrov said: “At first we need to have a deal. And if we agreed, we will decide. But, as Putin said many times, President Zelensky has no legitimacy.”

He said that after the agreement was ready, Russia “see who is legitimized from power in Ukraine.”

“The key task is now a peace agreement that will be reliable and ensure long-term, stable and fair peace without creating security threats to anyone. In our case, we are concerned about Russia.”
