"Record POW Exchange Between Russia and Ukraine Facilitated by UAE"
Russia and Ukraine conducted the largest prisoner swap since the invasion began, with 230 Ukrainians and 248 Russians released, facilitated by the UAE. Meanwhile, tensions escalated as Ukraine continued to target the Russian border city of Belgorod, with Russia claiming to have shot down multiple Ukrainian missiles. The attacks on Belgorod have caused civilian casualties and damage, prompting Russian President Putin to express anger and promise increased retaliation. Amidst these developments, NATO plans to support member countries in purchasing surface-to-air missiles, potentially allowing for more defense systems to be sent to Ukraine.
