Russia and Ukraine have agreed to the largest prisoner exchange of the war following their first round of talks brokered by the United States in Abu Dhabi.
Although the diplomatic encounter produced significant progress concerning the release of prisoners, it did not lead to any broader movement toward peace. Assessments surrounding the meeting indicate that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is not currently prepared to make peace, as he maintains the belief that he can outlast Western support for Ukraine.
Diplomatic efforts are scheduled to continue in the coming days. United States envoys are slated to travel on Thursday to Moscow to hold discussions with Vladimir Putin. At the same time, envoys will also visit Dublin on Thursday for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
