TL;DR Summary

Ukraine claims to have shot down a Russian hypersonic missile over Kyiv using newly acquired US-made Patriot defense systems. The unconfirmed claim would mark the first known case of Ukraine successfully intercepting what's seen as among Moscow's most modern missiles. In other developments, Ukraine and Russia swapped prisoners, including soldiers who defended Mariupol, and Russia claimed its forces downed a Ukrainian missile over the Crimean peninsula. Meanwhile, a German court overturned a police ban on Ukrainian flags around Soviet memorials on May 8 and 9, which mark the commemoration of the end of World War II.
