MOSCOW, May 22 (Reuters) - Russia has handed Ukraine a list of 1,000 prisoners of war it wants Kyiv to return in a forthcoming exchange deal, the Kremlin said on Thursday, according to Russia's Interfax news agency.
The Kremlin is waiting for Ukraine to hand over its own list of prisoners, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was cited as saying.
An agreement to conduct such an exchange came out of the first direct talks between Russia and Ukraine in more than three years, which were held in Istanbul earlier this month.
