President Vladimir Putin announced on Saturday that Russia has not received any proposals from Ukraine regarding a large-scale prisoner exchange.
Putin's comments come in light of an announcement made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who suggested a potential swap.
During a press conference, Putin expressed hope for a response from Ukraine, stating, "We are counting on the Ukrainian side to respond to the proposal made by the President of the United States."
He added, "Unfortunately, we still have not received any proposals so far."
Context of the Announcement
The lack of communication regarding the prisoner swap highlights ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
As both nations navigate complex diplomatic relations, the success of any proposed exchanges remains uncertain.
