Russia and Ukraine agreed on a fresh prisoner swap at "productive" Washington-mediated talks underway in Abu Dhabi, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said Thursday, stressing that more work lay ahead.

"This outcome was achieved from peace talks that have been detailed and productive," though "significant work remains," he added in an X post.
