Trump Falsely Claims Credit for Russia-Ukraine Prisoner Swap
A prisoner exchange, brokered by the Trump administration, saw the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war, resulting in joyous reunions for some families while others anxiously searched for missing loved ones. This event, a rare success in direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, was overshadowed by simultaneous attacks; Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone assault, while Ukraine responded in kind. The exchange took place amidst the ongoing conflict, highlighting the complexities and continuing tensions between the two nations. Despite the celebratory atmosphere for some, the uncertainty surrounding missing soldiers underscores the human cost of the war.
