Zelensky confirms the resumption of negotiations with Russia and the "largest prisoner exchange"

World"Our trilateral meeting has been unblocked, and this is very important because it gives hope that we will end this war," the Ukrainian leader has said. President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky CommentsThe President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has confirmed the unblocking of the trilateral dialogue process with Russia and the United States after meeting with the White House envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, highlighting the agreement reached to carry out "the largest prisoner of war exchange" since the start of the invasion and the direct incorporation of European partners into the negotiating table in the next round. In a joint appearance before the media after the diplomatic round held in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) and the trip of the American envoys to Moscow to meet with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, Zelensky celebrated in Dublin —after participating in the European Political Community Summit— that the negotiation format "has been unblocked," which opens the door to new meetings aimed at setting an agenda for de-escalation and possible ceasefires. "First of all, our trilateral meeting was unblocked, and this is very important because it gives hope that we will end this war," the Ukrainian leader has stated. For his part, the son-in-law of President Donald Trump and advisor in the negotiations, Jared Kushner, has highlighted the pact to repatriate "thousands" of captive soldiers. Although Kiev continues to advocate for an "all for all" exchange, Zelensky has described the agreement as a "real success" for the families and a tangible step toward peace. Likewise, the Ukrainian head of state has emphasized as a key advance that all parties have accepted that Europe will be an active part of the negotiating team in the next meeting, and not in a separate manner. "It is important because the war is in Europe. We will be members of the European Union in the future and security guarantees in Europe are fundamental for prosperity," he has stated.
