Zelenskyy offers captured North Korean soldiers for Ukrainians held by Russia
Sunday, 12 January 2025 Ukraine's president is offering a prisoner swap with North Korean soldiers it has captured, in exchange for Ukrainians held by Russia.
The Security Service for Ukraine announced on Saturday that it had captured two soldiers from North Korea in Russia’s Kursk region and they are being questioned in Kyiv.
The world is on the brink as Russia unleashes a massive wave of missiles and drones on Ukraine, striking a U.S.-owned factory employing 600 workers and pounding major cities. This shocking assault comes just days after the high-stakes Trump-Putin Alaska meeting, now branded a complete failure. With talks between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky collapsing before they could even begin, fears of World War 3 are spiraling

Russia escalated tensions ahead of a key Trump–Zelensky–Putin tri-meeting by launching a deadly strike on U.S.-owned Flex Ltd. in Ukraine. The attack used a mix of drones, cruise missiles, and advanced Kinzhal hypersonics, overwhelming Ukrainian air defenses. At least 15 were injured as missiles tore through the Flex plant in Mukachevo, forcing 800 night-shift workers into shelters. Analysts warn Putin’s use of unstoppable hypersonic missiles signals a show of force meant to provoke Trump and humiliate Ukraine’s defenses.

Putin has flatly rejected the idea of European troops setting foot in Ukraine, delivering a chilling message that left both Zelensky and EU leaders stunned. The Kremlin’s fiery stance comes just days before Trump’s proposed trilateral peace talks, throwing Europe’s role in the conflict into question.

Russia unleashed a massive overnight drone and missile assault on western Ukraine on Aug. 21, killing at least one civilian and injuring 14, in a brazen attack that came just days after peace talks in Washington. Explosions rocked cities far from the front line, including Lviv, Lutsk, Rivne, and Mukachevo, where a major electronics plant employing 800 people was set ablaze. Twelve civilians were hospitalized in Mukachevo alone. Air raid sirens sounded across Ukraine as Russian MiG-31 jets capable of firing Kinzhal missiles took off, triggering panic. Air defenses intercepted several drones, but multiple strikes caused fires and extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. The attack highlights Russia’s continued bombardment of civilians even as President Zelensky and former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly discuss peace. Since Trump’s Aug. 15 meeting with Putin, Russian strikes have already killed 31 civilians and injured 145 more.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a final nuclear warning to the U.S. and South Korea, accusing their joint military drills of being a “direct threat” to Pyongyang. During a visit to a navy destroyer, Kim called for a rapid expansion of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and accused Washington and Seoul of preparing for war. His sister, Kim Yo Jong, rejected dialogue and slammed South Korea’s reliance on the U.S. With Ulchi Freedom Shield drills underway, tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to mount.

North Korea has issued a stark warning to the United States and South Korea over their upcoming Ulchi Freedom Shield military drills, calling them a “direct provocation” and a serious threat to stability on the Korean Peninsula. Defense Minister No Kwang Choi, in a statement via state-run KCNA, condemned the large-scale exercise — set for August 18–28 — which will involve live field maneuvers, computer simulations, and civil defense training. He warned of “negative consequences” and vowed that Pyongyang would exercise its “sovereign right” to self-defense if provoked.
While the Combined Forces Command insists the drills are defensive in nature, half of the planned field exercises have been postponed due to extreme weather and to avoid escalating tensions. This comes as both Koreas recently removed propaganda loudspeakers along the DMZ, hinting at fragile attempts to improve relations despite the looming military standoff.

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals.
Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Could this meeting really end the war?

North Korea is openly warning the U.S. to recognize it as a nuclear power or abandon hopes of future diplomacy. Backed by Russia, Pyongyang says denuclearization is off the table and that Washington’s expectations are outdated. Kim Jong Un’s sister mocked U.S. efforts and insisted the “2025 reality” demands a new approach. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov supported North Korea’s stance, citing self-defense. With alliances forming and rhetoric intensifying, the DPRK declares its nuclear status non-negotiable—placing future talks in deep uncertainty.

Russia launched a deadly overnight strike on U.S.-owned Flex Ltd in Ukraine, using drones, cruise missiles, and Kinzhal hypersonic weapons. The attack, which left at least 15 people injured, coincided with Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s visit to Moscow, where he met President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov. Jaishankar slammed U.S. oil policy while Russia intensified its pressure on the West. With over 800 workers evacuated and significant damage reported, analysts say the strike may have been a warning to Washington and its allies over India sanctions.
