The prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia continues ahead of potential peace terms between the warring nations.

The two countries exchanged 307 prisoners each on Saturday as part of a 1,000-person prisoner swap that began on Friday and is set to conclude on Sunday.

They exchanged 390 prisoners each on Friday, including 120 civilians, and are expected to release the remaining 303 on Sunday.

This marks the largest prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine since the start of their three-year war. It was agreed upon following talks in Istanbul last week.

The nations have also agreed to exchange documents outlining ceasefire terms. Moscow has announced it will release its conditions after the prisoner swap is completed.
