Zelensky says a new release of prisoners is in the works after Istanbul meeting, despite no peace talk progress with Russia

US-led efforts to push the two sides into accepting a ceasefire have so far failed. Ukraine accepted a proposed truce, but the Kremlin effectively rejected it. However, the delegations agreed to swap 6,000 bodies of soldiers killed in action and to set up a commission to exchange seriously wounded troops.
