The UAE has offered its “assistance” in a potential prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine, Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported on Monday, citing a law enforcement source.
The Emirati proposals are being considered as the lists of prisoners slated for the swaps are finalized, the report said.
Both Russia and Ukraine claim to have captured scores of prisoners since Moscow launched its military campaign in the neighboring country in late February.
Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on June 7 that nearly 6,500 Ukrainian fighters have been detained.
Ukrainian officials previously reported that 11 rounds of exchanges had taken place, in which dozens of prisoners were swapped.
