In a surprising move, Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his critical role in orchestrating a historic U.S.-Russia prisoner swap. This unprecedented deal saw American journalist Evan Gershkovich and U.S. Marine Paul Whelan return home, while high-profile Russian detainees, including hackers and assassins, were handed back to Moscow. The swap, which involved 24 detainees, unfolded after nearly a year of secret negotiations, with Turkey's President Erdogan playing a pivotal role as mediator.

In a historic prisoner exchange deal on Thursday, U.S President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris welcomed American prisoners Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, who had been released by Russia. The released prisoners arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where they were greeted by Biden, Harris, and other top US officials. However, a moment during the event sparked controversy and misleading claims on social media. As the prisoners disembarked from the plane, Biden and Harris addressed the press before meeting with the freed individuals and their families. Shortly after, Biden was seen walking back up the steps of the aircraft. This led to a flurry of online speculation and rumours, particularly on the social media platform X, where users claimed that Biden had mistakenly boarded an empty plane.

The US is reportedly considering lifting restrictions on Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles against Russian territory. Secretary Blinken is expected to announce this policy change during a visit to Kiev, citing alleged Iranian missile supplies to Russia. The decision marks a shift from previous limitations aimed at avoiding direct US involvement in the conflict. Ukraine has been requesting this change since May.
