Historic Swap:Russia and Ukraine Trade 230 Prisoners in UAE-Facilitated Exchange Amid Kursk Conflict
In a landmark development amid ongoing conflict, Russia and Ukraine have conducted a significant prisoner swap, exchanging 230 captives with the help of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
This historic exchange, facilitated by the UAE, marks the seventh mediation effort by the Gulf nation this year.
The swap involved 115 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) and 115 Russian servicemen, the latter captured during Ukraine's recent incursion into the Kursk region.
This exchange, the first since the August 6 border incursion, underscores ongoing humanitarian efforts and the UAEâs critical role in facilitating dialogue between the warring nations.
Four major Arab nations â Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan â have strongly condemned Israelâs military strikes on Iran, labeling them as violations of sovereignty and international law. Riyadh has called for urgent UN Security Council intervention, while the UAE urged maximum restraint. Kuwait and Jordan warned the strikes threaten Middle East stability. All four nations demand immediate global action to prevent the outbreak of a larger regional war, as fears of a wider Islamic world backlash begin to grow.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor clarified Indiaâs position on third-party mediation amid Operation Sindoor. He revealed that several global powersâincluding the U.S., France, UAE, and Saudi Arabiaâreached out following Indiaâs retaliatory strikes. Tharoor emphasized that India is not seeking war, but acted against terrorism. Any message relayed to Pakistan was indirect, not part of a formal mediation process. Tharoor reaffirmed that India never initiated aggression, maintaining a clear stance: âIf they stop, we stop.â

In a dramatic diplomatic twist, Gulf powerhouses Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar reportedly urged President Trump to stand down from launching a military strike on Iran. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ), and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani warned that such action could provoke devastating Iranian retaliationâespecially against U.S. bases on Gulf soil. As fears of regional chaos mounted, the Gulf leaders pushed Trump toward diplomacy and a new nuclear deal instead of confrontation. Trump, meanwhile, told Israeli PM Netanyahu to hold back on unilateral action and hinted that a âvery strong documentâ with Iran could be signed soon.

President Trump has revealed that Iran received a fresh U.S. proposal for a new nuclear agreement. Urging swift action, Trump warned Tehran to âmove quicklyâ or face serious consequences. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the urgency, citing Iranâs 60% enriched uranium stockpileâjust a short step from weapons-grade levels. With four rounds of backchannel talks in Oman and increasing pressure from Congress, the stakes are high. Trump claims Iran has âsort of agreed,â promising a future without ânuclear dustââbut Republicans are demanding a tougher stance.

Russia claims President Vladimir Putin narrowly escaped a Ukrainian drone strike during his visit to the Kursk region on May 20. According to Air Defence Commander Yuriy Dashkin, Putinâs helicopter was in the "epicentre" of a large-scale drone attack, with one drone shot down near his flight path.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang to honor Soviet soldiers, marking 80 years since Nazi Germany's defeat. Standing beside top officials and his daughter, Kim called Putin his âclosest friendâ and condemned the rise of âneo-Nazismâ in Europe. He accused Ukrainian forces of invading Russia and confirmed that DPRK troops helped defend the Kursk region. Under a 2024 treaty with Russia, Kim warned that North Korea may intervene again militarily if Western-backed assaults continue.
