Authorities say a massive Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine has demolished an apartment block in Kyiv, killing seven and wounding dozens.

Russia and Ukraine carried out a prisoner swap under a 1,000-for-1,000 deal initiated by US President Donald Trump, with humanitarian assistance from the UAE.

Last month, Ukraine managed to liberate more land than Russia seized – the first time Moscow suffered a net loss of territory since Ukraine’s 2024 Kursk incursion.

Russian drones twice attacked a vehicle carrying a United Nations leader and eight other UN workers on Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. The vehicle was carrying the head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA),

The attack began in midmorning and lasted for hours in the capital of Kyiv, the western city of Lviv near Poland, and the port of Odesa on the Black Sea, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

KYIV, May 15 (Reuters) - Ukraine has brought home 205 service personnel from Russian captivity in the first stage of a bigger prisoner of war swap, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday. Russia and Ukraine have agreed to swap 1000 POWs each as part of a three-day ceasefire,

It was a remarkable admission of weakness. In an effort to shield the parade, Putin sought a three-day ceasefire, succeeding in persuading President Trump to pressure Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy into accepting it.

The arrest is the closest that the country’s anti-corruption officials have come to the president’s inner circle. It comes as Ukraine was hit by a new volley of Russian strikes Thursday.
