An international working group on the conflict in east Ukraine on Monday agreed on an exchange of prisoners to take place before the end of the year, a representative of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said.

"The Trilateral Contact Group, with participation of representatives of certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, reached an agreement on a mutual release and exchange of conflict-related detainees by the end of the year," Ambassador Martin Sajdik, the OSCE's Special Representative to Ukraine, was cited by the organization as saying.
