Historic Swap:Russia and Ukraine Trade 230 Prisoners in UAE-Facilitated Exchange Amid Kursk Conflict
In a landmark development amid ongoing conflict, Russia and Ukraine have conducted a significant prisoner swap, exchanging 230 captives with the help of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
This historic exchange, facilitated by the UAE, marks the seventh mediation effort by the Gulf nation this year.
The swap involved 115 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) and 115 Russian servicemen, the latter captured during Ukraine's recent incursion into the Kursk region.
This exchange, the first since the August 6 border incursion, underscores ongoing humanitarian efforts and the UAE’s critical role in facilitating dialogue between the warring nations.
In a bold humanitarian gesture, the United Arab Emirates has dispatched its largest-ever aid vessel to Gaza, carrying a massive 7,000 tonnes of essential food, medical, and shelter supplies. This mission, named Chivalrous Knight 3, marks a significant escalation in the UAE’s relief efforts amid Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis.
The ship set sail toward Egypt’s El Arish Port and will route supplies through the Rafah crossing into Gaza. Emirati officials described the mission as a "gift to our people in Gaza," reinforcing their continued commitment to Palestinian civilians. The aid comes amid global scrutiny over the blockade and suffering in Gaza, and highlights growing regional involvement in humanitarian diplomacy. This massive maritime effort signals both urgency and scale—providing life-saving materials to a population in dire need.

This exclusive new footage provides a chilling, firsthand look inside the bulk carrier 'Magic Sea' during a devastating attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. The video captures the sheer panic as alarms blare and glass shatters from the impact of the strike, forcing the crew to abandon the ship just moments before it began to sink. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Red Sea crisis, which is severely disrupting global shipping routes.
The Houthi group in Yemen officially claimed responsibility for the attack, stating they utilized a combination of unmanned boats, naval missiles, and drones. According to a statement by their spokesperson, the group alleges that the 'Magic Sea' had violated their ban on ships entering Israeli ports, which they refer to as "occupied ports." They further claimed that the ship's crew had been issued multiple warnings but failed to comply, leading to the direct strike.
In the aftermath of the attack, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) confirmed a successful rescue operation. All 22 crew members and the security staff onboard the vessel were safely evacuated before the ship was completely lost. This attack is the latest in a series of aggressive actions by the Houthis against international maritime traffic, raising global concerns over the security of this critical waterway and the potential for a wider conflict in the Middle East.

Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning following the U.S. deployment of B61-12 nuclear bombs to the UK—just 2,800 kilometers from Moscow. The Kremlin accused Washington of provoking nuclear tensions and deliberately escalating global instability. As Trump grows increasingly confrontational over the Ukraine war, Russia says the West is sabotaging strategic dialogue and militarizing Europe. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the suspension of nuclear talks, citing hostile Western policies. With diplomacy breaking down, fears of World War III are rising fast.

For the first time since 2008, the U.S. has deployed nuclear weapons to the United Kingdom—triggering fears of global escalation. B61-12 thermonuclear bombs, designed for precision strikes via F-35A jets, were flown in by C-17s from New Mexico. This marks a major shift in NATO’s nuclear posture, placing U.S. nukes just 2,800 km from Moscow. As Trump grows frustrated with Putin over Ukraine, analysts warn the deployment dangerously heightens the risk of direct conflict—possibly World War III.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyin’s death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyiv’s broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.

Putin delivered a brutal takedown of Ukrainian leadership, declaring that “the whole of Ukraine is ours” while mocking Kyiv’s military for being only 47% staffed. Putin revealed that Ukraine’s attempted incursion into Russia’s Kursk region ended in disaster, with 76,000 Ukrainian troops lost. Calling their military strategy “stupidity,” he warned that Russia will now push for a buffer zone.

Russia claims President Vladimir Putin narrowly escaped a Ukrainian drone strike during his visit to the Kursk region on May 20. According to Air Defence Commander Yuriy Dashkin, Putin’s helicopter was in the "epicentre" of a large-scale drone attack, with one drone shot down near his flight path. Russia says over 1,170 drones were destroyed between May 20–22. Officials are now probing whether the strike was an attempted assassination or a psychological operation by Ukraine. No injuries or damages were reported, and Putin’s convoy continued as planned.
