The Kremlin has announced that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to swap 175 prisoners of war from each side. This agreement comes amid ongoing discussions about the conflict between the two nations. Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump discussed various topics, including the Middle East and energy issues. During their talks, Putin emphasized his commitment to finding a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine. The two leaders agreed to form expert groups to work on settling the situation in Ukraine. As part of this agreement, Russia will also transfer 23 severely injured Ukrainian servicemen.
