At peace talks in Istanbul, Russia and Ukraine agreed on a prisoner exchange but clashed over ceasefire terms and a potential presidential meeting.

Russia announces that Ukraine has indefinitely postponed the exchange of prisoners and acceptance of fallen soldiers’ bodies, says Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky.

Russia and Ukraine have completed the largest prisoner swap since the conflict began, exchanging 303 prisoners each after talks in Istanbul.

Hamas announces a solution to the delay in releasing Palestinian prisoners, agreeing to a simultaneous exchange with Israeli hostages’ bodies as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

Three Israeli hostages are set to be released by Hamas as the Gaza ceasefire holds, marking the fifth hostage-prisoner exchange in the conflict.

As the Israel-Hamas ceasefire enters its 12th day, a third detainee swap is set to occur, with Hamas releasing eight individuals and Israel releasing 110 Palestinian detainees.
