Russia and Ukraine’s Massive Prisoner Swap: 150 Captives Released in Tense UAE-led Negotiations
In a significant diplomatic breakthrough, Russia and Ukraine have conducted their first prisoner exchange in two months, with each side releasing 150 soldiers.
The high-stakes negotiations, facilitated by the United Arab Emirates, mark a critical moment in ongoing efforts to ease tensions between the two nations.The freed Russian soldiers were initially transferred to Belarus for medical care, psychological support, and the chance to reconnect with their families.
They will subsequently return to Russia for further rehabilitation.
Ukrainian troops, also released in equal numbers, were returned from Russian captivity as part of the carefully coordinated exchange.

LIVE from the SCO Summit 2025 in China — Russian President Vladimir Putin delivers a forceful address on the Ukraine crisis, blaming the West and NATO for provoking the conflict. He clarifies that the 2014 coup in Ukraine, not Russia, triggered the crisis, and praises China, India, and other nations for facilitating peace efforts. Putin also promises to reveal previously undisclosed details about a high-profile Alaska meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump. Analysts say his remarks signal a direct challenge to Western narratives and underline Russia’s stance on global security and multipolar diplomacy.

A historic moment at the SCO Summit in Tianjin, China — world leaders gathered for the official family photo, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the front row, standing alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The powerful image of unity comes as the West tries to isolate Russia over Ukraine and pressures India on its global stance. Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan also hosted a grand banquet for the international guests, highlighting the diplomatic weight of this summit. Analysts say this “unity pose” of Modi, Xi, and Putin sends a strong message to America, Pakistan, and the world: a new power balance is taking shape in Eurasia.

Ukraine has issued a stark warning to Belarus amid fears that upcoming Russia-Belarus joint military drills could escalate the war. The Zapad-2025 exercises, set for September, will feature drones, electronic warfare, and Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile—previously compared to a low-yield nuclear strike. Kyiv fears Belarus may provide direct support to Russia, with the border just 100 km away. NATO has responded with 30,000 troops deployed near Poland’s border, while Moscow accuses NATO of using the drills as a pretext for escalation.

President Donald Trump spoke with Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko on Friday, just hours before his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Calling the discussion “wonderful,” Trump thanked Lukashenko for releasing 16 political prisoners and explored a deal for freeing 1,300 more. This was their first call since Trump’s White House return. They discussed the Ukraine war, bilateral ties, and Putin’s visit. Belarus, a staunch Putin ally, has allowed Russian troops to operate from its territory since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.

Vladimir Putin has confirmed that a highly anticipated summit with Donald Trump could take place as early as next week in the UAE, calling it a potential “historical event.” With the U.S. deadline looming for Russia to show progress on ending the Ukraine war, the Kremlin is pushing for a “successful and productive” outcome. However, Kyiv is unlikely to be part of the talks, as Russia dismisses Zelensky's inclusion and continues to label him “illegitimate” due to his expired term.

The UAE has carried out its 61st humanitarian airdrop over Gaza as part of the “Birds of Goodness” mission. Reports claim some containers may have fallen into the sea, triggering further chaos amid desperate conditions. In addition to airlifts, 20 aid trucks were sent into Gaza, where hunger deaths continue to rise. UN agencies report seizures and looting of aid, while Hamas declares it will only allow access to hostages if Israel halts airstrikes and opens corridors. Despite international efforts, the humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.”
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.

After months of silence and worsening famine, Jordan and the UAE have conducted the first Arab airdrop of humanitarian aid into Gaza. As mass starvation grips the enclave, with over 120 deaths from malnutrition—including dozens of children—this airdrop may signal a shift. But with ongoing blockades and a severely restricted flow of supplies, is it too little, too late?
We break down what was delivered, why the crisis escalated, and whether international pressure is finally moving the needle.
