Russia-Ukraine War: President Donald Trump told West Point cadets that the U.S. is studying drone warfare in the Ukraine conflict. With Russia reportedly gaining an edge in UAV technology, Trump emphasized the need to stay ahead in rapidly evolving tactics. Fiber optic drones used by Moscow are proving hard to intercept and devastating on the battlefield. Putin claimed 4,000 FPV drones are deployed daily, reshaping war logistics. Trump urged cadets to embrace innovation, acknowledging drones are altering modern warfare in ways the U.S. must closely observe and adapt to.

Western European leaders are reportedly considering buying U.S. weapons for Ukraine if Donald Trump halts American military aid. According to Bloomberg, EU and UK officials hope to keep Ukraine armed and also persuade Washington to maintain intelligence sharing with Kiev. Amid Trump's warnings of withdrawing support and EU stockpile shortages, European powers fear a collapse in Ukraine's defense. French President Macron and EU officials admit production limits, while Russia warns that Western support only prolongs the war and escalates tensions with NATO.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Kiev’s Western allies, including the EU and UK, of backing recent massive drone strikes on Russian civilians to derail the renewed peace talks with Ukraine. Lavrov said nations like France, Germany, and Britain are enabling Ukrainian “Nazis” and bear responsibility for the attacks. Over 880 drones and missiles have been launched into Russian territory since Tuesday, according to Moscow. Lavrov also warned that Western calls for a ceasefire mask plans to further militarize Europe and prolong the war for their geopolitical interests.

Ukrainian prisoners of war were met with emotional reunions and national flags after being freed in the first stage of a major prisoner swap with Russia on May 23, 2025. Families wept and cheered as their loved ones returned, only hours before Russia launched a massive drone and missile strike on Kyiv, wounding at least 15 people. The exchange followed tense negotiations in Istanbul, with a second stage scheduled for Saturday. The joy of reunion was quickly overshadowed by renewed violence in Ukraine's capital, highlighting the fragility of the situation.

Russia will present a draft peace proposal to Ukraine once the ongoing POW exchange of 1,000 prisoners per side concludes, said Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The proposal stems from progress made during the recent Istanbul talks, the first direct negotiations since 2022. Lavrov emphasized that the document outlines conditions for a “lasting comprehensive settlement.” President Putin confirmed that the next step, agreed upon with President Trump, involves a memorandum defining the peace roadmap. Both Moscow and Kiev have committed to resuming talks after draft proposals are exchanged.
