War in Ukraine live: Liz Truss, the British Prime Minister, reiterates her support for Ukraine – Le Monde

Russia and Ukraine at war have agreed to proceed with “the exchange of 200 prisoners”, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday evening on American television PBS, considering that it is a question of a “significant” advance in the conflict. He did not give any other details on this agreement or on the persons concerned, civilians or soldiers, during this interview given in Turkish. For Mr. Erdogan, who met Russian President Vladimir Putin last week in Samarkand (Uzbekistan), the head of the Kremlin “wants to end this war as soon as possible”. But for any peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, it will be necessary to return the occupied lands, he insisted: “This is what is expected and hoped for”, he continues, assuring that he and that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is “working on it”. The Turkish president, who arrived in New York on Saturday, is due to address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.
