A major breakthrough in the Russia–Ukraine peace process? US President Donald Trump’s envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are working towards what could become the largest prisoner exchange of the war, potentially bringing thousands of captives home.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has welcomed the diplomatic progress and thanked the US team. But with deep disagreements over territory and security guarantees still unresolved, could the planned exchange pave the way for wider peace negotiations?
