Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on November 14 that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to the largest prisoner exchange of the war, involving more than 1,000 people from each side. Reuters reported, citing remarks to reporters released by Zelenskyy's office, that the exchange was agreed during two days of US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi, and that the final numbers were still under discussion.

Zelenskyy said Ukrainian teams, intelligence agencies and special services were working on preparations for the exchange and that he expected a report on the preparations shortly. US peace envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had pledged to raise an energy ceasefire with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting in Moscow, but there was no news of progress after their talks, he said.

Witkoff and Kushner met Zelenskyy in Ireland after their talks in Moscow. No date for the exchange has been announced.
