A new Emirati mediation effort between Russia and Ukraine succeeds in releasing 370 prisoners.



The United Arab Emirates announced the success of its mediation efforts between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Ukraine in completing a new exchange operation that included 185 prisoners from the Russian side and 185 prisoners from the Ukrainian side, bringing the total number of prisoners exchanged between the two countries in these mediations to 7,471 prisoners.


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs appreciated the cooperation of the two friendly countries in the success of the UAE’s mediation efforts as a trusted international mediator, and their appreciation for the UAE’s keenness to support all efforts aimed at resolving the crisis between the two countries.


The ministry stated that with the success of this mediation, the total number of Emirati mediations that took place during the crisis has reached 24, which stem from the distinguished relations that unite the UAE with both the Russian Federation and Ukraine.


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the UAE will continue its efforts to support various endeavors to reach a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine, and to alleviate the humanitarian effects of the crisis, such as refugees and prisoners.

  1. This is an important humanitarian step by the UAE; the exchange of prisoners in such a large number reflects its effective role in calming the conflict and reducing suffering.

  2. Despite the importance of prisoner exchanges, these moves do not change anything at the root of the crisis, nor do they bring us any closer to ending the war.

    1. It is true that prisoner exchanges do not end the war directly, but they remain an important humanitarian step that reduces the suffering of people on the ground, especially in a sensitive issue like prisoners, which is often one of the most difficult issues in any conflict.

  3. The success of Emirati mediation on more than one occasion demonstrates the confidence of both parties in it, and this strengthens its position as a reliable international mediator.

  4. Repeated mediations without a comprehensive political solution may make them more of a media exercise than a real step towards peace.

    1. To say that mediation efforts are “merely for show” is inaccurate; exchanges of this magnitude require genuine understanding and communication between experts, even if a shared political solution hasn't yet been reached. Such steps may not end the virus immediately, but they do open channels, alleviate anxiety, and pave the way for any future agreement.
