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.

Russia’s war on Ukraine has sparked a domino effect, pushing more European nations toward NATO. Austria, long neutral, is now debating membership as Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger warns neutrality no longer ensures security. Joining NATO would end Austria’s historic role as a bridge between East and West, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Analysts say this move could inspire other neutral states like Switzerland and Serbia to reconsider their positions. Instead of weakening NATO, Putin’s war has strengthened and expanded the alliance, isolating Russia further

In one of the largest overnight drone barrages, Russia claims its air defense forces intercepted 99 drones targeting key cities and infrastructure across western Russia. Airports in St. Petersburg, Kaluga, and Volgograd were paralyzed, with 70+ flights delayed. Train services in Volgograd faced hours-long halts after drone debris damaged railway power lines. Debris fell in residential and industrial areas, reportedly injuring at least one person in Leningrad Oblast.
The Russian Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of orchestrating the strikes, with Kyiv yet to issue a statement. Targeted regions included Bryansk, Smolensk, Kaluga, Volgograd, Rostov, and even occupied Crimea and Moscow. While Russia continues its aggressive strikes on Ukraine, this retaliation suggests an expanding and unpredictable aerial conflict zone. The Kyiv Independent couldn’t verify the claims independently. This is a rapidly developing story.

Russian forces have reportedly captured an intact Ukrainian ‘Leleka’ drone in Zaporizhzhya after forcing it to land with electronic warfare systems. The drone, a critical part of Ukraine’s UAV and electronic warfare arsenal, may now be dissected by Russia to gain strategic advantages. Meanwhile, Ukraine accuses Moscow of abducting children from occupied territories, indoctrinating them, and forcing them to fight against their homeland. As tensions escalate, the U.S. slammed China at the UN for allegedly aiding Russia, sparking another diplomatic clash. Peace remains distant as the war grinds on.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences.
Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called U.S. President Donald Trump a “courageous man,” saying he once again respects America under Trump’s leadership. During his visit to Belarus, Putin praised Trump for surviving last year’s assassination attempt and credited him with restoring direct U.S.-Russia communications.
Trump emphasized that the wars in Ukraine and Gaza wouldn’t have happened under his presidency. Putin, speaking from Minsk, also said Trump is sincerely trying to broker peace in Ukraine. Since returning to office, Trump has reportedly spoken to Putin five times, reigniting direct channels cut off under Biden. The remarks underscore a dramatic shift in global tone and U.S. diplomacy under Trump’s second term.

CCTV footage from the Handala aid ship shows Israeli soldiers breaking cameras during a midnight raid in international waters. The Gaza-bound vessel, carrying baby formula, food, and medicine for starving civilians, was intercepted 40 nautical miles from Gaza. Israeli forces detained 21 international activists and journalists, seizing all aid cargo. This marks the second ship blocked in recent months, amid rising global outrage over Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis. Cameras and communications were cut before the vessel was escorted back to shore, deepening calls for accountability.

Wildfires have encircled Turkey’s first nuclear reactor site—the Akkuyu plant in Mersin Province—driven by a brutal drought and heatwave. Russian and Turkish firefighting aircraft, including Be‑200s and Mi‑8 helicopters, are combating the blaze alongside over 10,000 Russian staff and construction workers, joined by Turkish crews.
The plant, built by Rosatom, houses four VVER‑1200 reactors scheduled to start producing power in 2025, making this crisis especially alarming. While no damage to infrastructure has been confirmed, experts warn the fire’s proximity to critical cooling systems poses serious risk. The broader wildfire season has claimed at least 13 lives, including 10 firefighters in Eskisehir, and devastated thousands of hectares. Turkish authorities have declared multiple provinces disaster zones. As global attention fixes on Akkuyu, concerns grow over nuclear safety and climate-driven disaster response in the Mediterranean region.

This comes as tensions escalate, with Palestinians facing hunger and aid blockades, fueling further retaliation. Israel has imposed a publication ban on details while Hamas accuses Netanyahu’s cabinet of blocking ceasefire talks. The war reaches new heights, with visuals of the blast yet to emerge as both sides brace for further violence.

Al-Quds Brigades have released new video footage showing mortar strikes on Israeli military positions in Khan Younis. The video captures masked fighters assembling and firing mortars from civilian areas, followed by multiple explosions targeting Israeli supply lines and troop buildings. Black smoke and direct hits are visible in the footage. This comes as Hamas claims 20,000 fighters remain active, with leaders like Abu Obeida warning of more severe retaliation if Israeli raids persist. Despite months of operations, Israel faces ongoing resistance in southern Gaza.

A day after Gaza ceasefire talks failed, Hamas fired a rocket toward Israel’s border community of Kissufim, reigniting tensions. Despite Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, Hamas continues covert operations, killing multiple IDF soldiers through guerrilla tactics and IED blasts. Al-Qassam spokesperson Abu Obeida warned of a prolonged attrition war if Israeli tanks push deeper into Gaza. The latest attack underscores Israel’s struggle to fully contain Hamas, signaling a new phase of resistance from Gaza’s militants.
