Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj proposes that all prisoners of war be returned to their home countries, as the beginning of a process to put an end to the Russian invasion war in Ukraine that started three years ago.
Russia must release Ukrainians. Ukraine is ready to exchange all for all, and it is a fair way to start, he says at a top meeting in Kyiv.
He also calls for a long-term and sustainable peace in Ukraine.
This year should be the year when a real and lasting peace begins. Putin will not give us peace or give it to us in exchange for something. We must win peace through strength and wisdom and unity, says Zelenskyj.
