UPDATE 1-Ukraine's Zelenskiy confirms US announcement of ceasefire, prisoner exchange
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday confirmed a three-day ceasefire had been arranged with Russia as part of U.S. efforts to negotiate an end to the more than four-year-old war.
Zelenskiy, writing on Telegram, also said each of the two sides would be exchanging 1,000 prisoners of war, with humanitarian issues remaining a key Ukrainian priority. "That is why today, within the framework of the negotiation process mediated by the American side, we received Russia's agreement to conduct a prisoner of war exchange in the format of 1,000 for 1,000," Zelenskiy wrote.
"A ceasefire is also to be established on May 9, 10, 11."
