    Of course they agree, Russian POWs are probably okay, Ukraine POWs are probably abused, starved and half dead.

    What’s POW? edit: prisoners of war, it was pretty obvious🙃

    They should just do the exchange at one of the front lines. Sailing all those people to Istanbul and back seems like a waste of time.

      And be sitting ducks for a long time getting them back to saftey along a known route? Russia isn’t the most trustworthy when it comes to temporary ceasefires.

        My comment was a joke based on the headline having the possible interpretation that the exchange would be in Istanbul rather than the agreement being made there.
