Oleksandr Merezhko, chair of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Policy and Interparliamentary Cooperation, expressed this view in a comment to Ukrinform. “A prisoner-of-war exchange is possible. There is no question of replicating the Oleshky experience (a ceasefire to allow the evacuation of civilians – ed.). Nothing has changed. Putin will not abandon his demands. His position will not change one iota,” Merezhko said. He described the meeting in Abu Dhabi as “talks for the sake of talks.” The lawmaker added that Putin would agree to genuine negotiations to end Russia’s war against Ukraine only if he had no other choice.
