Zelenskiy says Ukraine hopes to revive POW exchanges with Russia by year's end

Ukraine hopes to revive prisoner of war exchanges with Russia by the end of the year, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday.

Speaking alongside Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan at a briefing in Ankara, he added that Ukraine counted on diplomatic efforts by Turkey to help end Russia's war.

"Of course, we talked substantively about the situation in diplomacy. And now many processes have become more active, and we are trying to ensure that all activity is aimed specifically at peace," Zelenskiy said.
