Russia and Ukraine are set to engage in a major prisoner exchange, described as the largest since the full-scale invasion in 2022. Officials agreed to swap 1,000 prisoners of war each during peace negotiations in Istanbul, though broader talks yielded no ceasefire progress.

US President Donald Trump claimed the swap was complete, but neither side confirmed this. Reports suggest the exchange may occur over three days near the Belarusian border.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced plans for further talks, while Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of stalling. Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni supported Trump's suggestion of Vatican mediation, though Lavrov dismissed the idea.
