Problem

Consider the cube $ABCDA'B'C'D'$($ABCD$ and $A'B'C'D'$ are the upper and lower bases, respectively, and edges $AA'$, $BB'$, $CC'$, $DD'$ are parallel). The point $X$ moves at constant speed along the perimeter of the square $ABCD$ in the direction $ABCDA$, and the point $Y$ moves at the same rate along the perimeter of the square $B'C'CB$ in the direction $B'C'CBB'$. Points $X$ and $Y$ begin their motion at the same instant from the starting positions $A$ and $B'$, respectively. Determine and draw the locus of the midpoints of the segments $XY$.
