The UAE has been integral to mediating prisoner exchanges between Russia and Ukraine in recent months. In June, 320 captives were exchanged by the warring nations after successful mediation by the Emirates, bringing the total number of prisoners swapped in 22 rounds of UAE-led talks to 7,791. The UAE has played a significant role in the global push to bring an end to the prolonged conflict in Europe.
