اِتَّفَقَتْ رُوسِيَا وَأُوكْرَانِيَا، مِنْ حَيْثُ الْمَبْدَأِ، عَلَى تَبَادُلٍ كَبِيرٍ لِأَسْرَى الْحَرْبِ. وَأَعْلَنَ مَسْؤُولُونَ هٰذَا الْخَبَرَ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ، الْحَادِيَ عَشَرَ مِنْ نُوفَمْبَرَ. وَجَاءَ الْخَبَرُ بَعْدَ مُحَادَثَاتٍ اسْتَمَرَّتْ يَوْمَيْنِ فِي أَبُوظَبِي. وَقَادَتِ الْوِلَايَاتُ الْمُتَّحِدَةُ هٰذِهِ الْمُحَادَثَاتِ. وَقَالَ جَارِيدُ كُوشْنَرُ إِنَّ الطَّرَفَيْنِ سَيُحَدِّدَانِ عَدَدَ الْأَسْرَى لَاحِقًا.

وَأَكَّدَ مَسْؤُولٌ رُوسِيٌّ وَمَسْؤُولٌ أُوكْرَانِيٌّ خَبَرَ التَّبَادُلِ. وَقَالَ مَسْؤُولٌ رُوسِيٌّ إِنَّ الْاِتِّفَاقَ مَبْدَئِيٌّ، أَيْ إِنَّ تَفَاصِيلَهُ لَمْ تَكْتَمِلْ بَعْدُ. وَلَمْ تُؤَدِّ الْمُحَادَثَاتُ إِلَى اِتِّفَاقٍ لِإِنْهَاءِ الْحَرْبِ. وَمَا زَالَتْ قَضَايَا مُهِمَّةٌ بِلَا حَلٍّ، مِنْهَا مَصِيرُ بَعْضِ الْأَرَاضِي. وَقَالَ كُوشْنَرُ إِنَّ تَبَادُلَ الْأَسْرَى قَدْ يُعِيدُهُمْ إِلَى عَائِلَاتِهِمْ، وَيُسَاعِدُ عَلَى بِنَاءِ الثِّقَةِ بَيْنَ الطَّرَفَيْنِ. وَلٰكِنَّ مَوْعِدَ التَّبَادُلِ وَعَدَدَ الْأَسْرَى لَمْ يُعْلَنَا بَعْدُ.

Russia and Ukraine Agree to Exchange Prisoners of War

Russia and Ukraine agreed in principle to a large exchange of prisoners of war. Officials announced the news on Wednesday, November 11. It came after talks lasting two days in Abu Dhabi. The United States led these talks. Jared Kushner said the two sides would decide the number of prisoners later.

A Russian official and a Ukrainian official confirmed the exchange. A Russian official said the agreement was in principle, meaning its details were not yet complete. The talks did not lead to an agreement to end the war. Important issues remain unresolved, including the future of some territories. Kushner said the prisoner exchange could return the prisoners to their families and help build trust between the two sides. But the date of the exchange and the number of prisoners have not yet been announced.
