A senior U.S. official confirmed that discussions on a potential prisoner exchange with Russian envoy Dmitriev took place during recent diplomatic engagements. While the talks were ongoing, no formal agreement was reached, and the official emphasized that no immediate action is expected.
The negotiations, which occurred during a high-level meeting between U.S. and Russian representatives, focused on addressing the issue of detained individuals from both nations. However, the official noted that the dialogue did not result in a binding agreement, with both sides acknowledging the complexity of the matter.
Despite the lack of a formal resolution, the engagement highlights the ongoing diplomatic efforts between the United States and Russia to resolve hostage and prisoner-related issues. The U.S. side reiterated its commitment to addressing the concerns of detained citizens, while Russia maintained its stance on the broader geopolitical context of the discussions.
