KYIV—Ukraine said on Sunday it had held talks with the Kremlin on swapping all remaining prisoners from the conflict in east Ukraine, and the next exchange might take place later this month.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed in December 2019 to send prisoners home, and scores were handed over just before the end of the year.
