Putin Launches Midnight Missile Attack on Kyiv Just Hours After Largest POW Exchange; 8 Injured
Russia unleashed a massive overnight drone and missile assault on Kyiv, just hours after the largest prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia.
Multiple waves of explosions rocked the capital, injuring at least eight civilians and causing fires across several districts.
The attack, one of the most intense in recent weeks, followed the return of 390 Ukrainian POWs and raised fresh concerns over Moscow’s aggressive escalation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.

President Donald Trump is set to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a dramatic attempt to halt what he described as the “bloodbath” in Ukraine. The high-stakes call, scheduled for Monday, comes after talks between Kyiv and Moscow stalled and casualties mounted. Trump also plans to speak with President Zelenskyy and NATO leaders, seeking a 30-day ceasefire. European leaders expressed cautious support, while critics accused Trump of appeasement.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.

President Donald Trump has unveiled a futuristic missile defense project named the ‘Golden Dome,’ inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome but designed for space warfare. With General Michael Guetlein of the US Space Force leading the initiative, the Golden Dome aims to use thousands of satellites to intercept threats. But can it defend against Russia’s Tsar Bomba—the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated? With only 2.4 miles separating the two countries at their closest point, the stakes are sky-high. Experts say ambition meets harsh reality in this high-tech showdown.

Russia has approved a security buffer zone along the Ukraine border, President Putin confirmed. The move comes after recent cross-border unrest in Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk. Putin said Russian troops are now actively working to stabilize and secure these regions. Alongside military efforts, the Kremlin is focusing on rebuilding infrastructure and supporting local communities. Meanwhile, Moscow has received Ukraine’s list for a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange, with negotiations already underway. This development marks a significant escalation in efforts to control unrest and stabilize western Russian territories near Ukraine.
