The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Wednesday the success of its partnership with Russia and Ukraine in facilitating the successful exchange of prisoners between Moscow and Kiev.
The ministry explained in a statement that “the success of the new mediation mission, which has become the fifth since the beginning of this year, comes as a result of the friendly relations and partnership that binds the United Arab Emirates to the two countries.”
The Ministry expressed its thanks to the Russian and Ukrainian authorities for supporting mediation efforts in the prisoner exchange process.
The Ministry affirmed “the UAE’s readiness to support all efforts and initiatives aimed at achieving a peaceful solution to the conflict between the two countries, and that diplomacy, dialogue, and de-escalation are the only way to overcome the crisis and mitigate its humanitarian consequences.”
On June 25, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of 90 Russian soldiers who were detained in Ukraine, and in return, 90 Ukrainian prisoners of war were transferred to Kiev through the mediation of the Emirati authorities.
