According to journalists, representatives of Kyiv and the Kremlin met last week to consider exporting fertilizers from the Russian Federation in exchange for the release of prisoners of war. Representatives of Ukraine and the Russian Federation met on November 17 in the capital of the United Arab Emirates Abu Dhabi in order to discuss the renewal of Russian fertilizers in exchange for the return of prisoners of war. About it writes Reuters with reference to knowledgeable sources.

The agency claims that the negotiations between Kiev and the Kremlin, in particular, were focused on the settlement of obstacles to the work of a grain corridor from Ukraine, whose action was continued on November 17.

The UAE was a mediator in the negotiations, and at the same time the UN was not presented at the meeting, although it plays a central role in agreements on exports of agricultural products from three Ukrainian ports. The Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar told Reuters that the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war is indeed part of the negotiations on the restoration of exports of Russian ammonia.

"Of course, we are looking for ways to make it [return prisoners of war] for any opportunity," he commented. However, Bodnar is not aware of the meeting in Abu Dhabi. At present, the media failed to find out what the result of the negotiations was and what agreements were reached at the meeting. On Wednesday, November 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin also said that the Russian side intends to discuss from the UN renewal of the Ukrainian area of ​​the Amiacow.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky supported the idea of ​​restoring exports of Russian ammonia through Ukraine if Moscow returns to Kiev Ukrainian prisoners of war, back in September. "I am against the supply of ammonia from the Russian Federation through our territory. I would only do it in exchange for our captives. This is what I suggested that the UN," the head of state said in an interview.
