UAE mediation leads to exchange of 190 Russian and Ukrainian prisoners
State news agency WAM has reported that the UAE successfully secured the exchange of 190 prisoners of war between Russia and Ukraine. The report added that the UAE has now secured the release of 1,558 captives with its sixth successful mediation effort between the warring parties, less than one month after the previous exchange process.
“These efforts reflect the UAE’s commitment to being a reliable mediator supporting diplomacy to resolve the crisis between the two countries,” a statement for the UAE’s foreign ministry said.
It added that the UAE was committed to ‘continuing all efforts and initiatives to find a peaceful solution to the conflict, stressing the importance of dialogue and de-escalation as the only ways to resolve the conflict and mitigate its humanitarian repercussions.’
In December 2022, the UAE also negotiated the exchange of two prisoners between the United States and the Russian Federation.
