Russia and Ukraine have completed the second phase of a record-setting prisoner swap, with 307 soldiers returned to each side, the Russian Defense Ministry announced. The agreement, forged during landmark talks in Türkiye earlier this month, marks the largest exchange in the ongoing conflict. Russian soldiers were first taken to Belarus for medical and psychological support. With 1,000 POWs agreed to be exchanged from both ends, this massive humanitarian gesture signals rare cooperation amidst the conflict. The process is expected to continue in the coming days.

The Trump administration has fired over 100 National Security Council (NSC) staffers in a surprise Memorial Day shake-up, reportedly aimed at dismantling what insiders call the “Deep State.” Employees received just 30 minutes to vacate offices, affecting major directorates including Ukraine and Indo-Pacific. Acting NSA Marco Rubio is spearheading the effort to streamline policy control, slashing NSC staff from over 300 to just 50. Officials say the move reduces bureaucracy and restores NSC’s original purpose. This is among the most sweeping reorganizations of Trump’s second term so far.
