What we know
Kushner said agreement was reached on the biggest-ever prisoner swap, numbers to be finalised tomorrow, along with good progress on Ukraine security guarantees and a push for European involvement in the talks format (per market news accounts). He added that there is no trust right now but the sides should rely on interests. Kushner and Witkoff will meet Zelenskiy in Dublin after their Moscow trip, and TASS reports they could visit Russia soon and that the swap may happen in 2-3 weeks. A Ukrainian negotiator said Kyiv heard no ultimatums, while another said the Russians came with strict directives. Several of these quotes come from market news accounts and are unconfirmed.
