Ukraine Delays POW Exchange And Bodies Transfer Despite Istanbul Deal, Russia ‘Furious’ Over Move
Ukraine has unexpectedly postponed a planned exchange of prisoners of war and bodies of fallen soldiers, despite agreements reached during negotiations in Istanbul.
Russian envoy Vladimir Medinsky stated that Kyiv failed to send its delegation or provide a finalized list of POWs, leaving thousands of Ukrainian soldiers’ bodies in cold storage.
Russia, claiming full readiness to proceed, released footage of the frozen remains awaiting transfer.
The delay, said to be “for an indefinite period,” has drawn criticism for depriving families of proper burials and violating earlier commitments.

Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region has come under a “massive attack,” according to regional governor Sergiy Lysak, who confirmed explosions in the key cities of Dnipro and Pavlograd. Residents have been urged to take shelter as Russian missiles and drones pound the region. Until now, Dnipropetrovsk had largely escaped the intensity of frontline battles, but the situation has shifted dramatically. Kyiv admitted that Russian forces have crossed into the region, while Moscow boasted of gaining a foothold there. This marks a dangerous expansion of the war, as the region is not among the five Ukrainian territories Russia has officially claimed. The attack raises fears of an intensified campaign in Ukraine’s industrial heartland, signaling that no part of the country is beyond reach. With explosions shaking Dnipro, Ukraine’s fourth-largest city, the strikes are seen as a chilling escalation that could redraw the battlefield once more.

The United States has approved an $825 million arms package for Ukraine, marking its hardest response yet to Russia’s brutal strike on Kyiv that killed 19 civilians, including four children. The deal, announced by the Trump administration, includes 3,350 extended-range missiles, GPS systems, spare parts, and training support. Funding will be shared between NATO allies Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, alongside U.S. foreign financing. Officials declared the sale a vital step to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses while signaling Washington’s resolve against Moscow’s escalating war. The move follows two July deals totaling over $650 million in aid, covering armored vehicles, air defense, and artillery support. With peace talks collapsing after Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin, this deal underscores a shift from negotiations to hard power. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Putin “breaks every promise” and only responds with missiles, as the U.S. arms Kyiv for a long and dangerous war.

The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russia’s devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be “no summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,” while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would “obviously” be no summit despite Donald Trump’s dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after “tangible progress,” something Kyiv and NATO allies reject outright. The collapse highlights the crumbling state of diplomacy in Europe, where leaders now openly prepare for wider war. Trump had hoped to position himself as a peacemaker, but European officials dismissed his roadmap as unrealistic. With NATO deployments looming and Russia warning of escalation, the world faces a dangerous new turning point.

Russia has flatly denied any agreement on an air ceasefire with Ukraine, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declaring “no deals have been reached.” The rejection came amid speculation of a temporary truce after the Alaska peace talks with Trump. Instead, Russia intensified its aerial assault, launching nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles overnight on August 28. Kyiv was hit hardest, with hypersonic Kinzhal strikes killing at least 18 civilians, including 12 in Darnytskyi, as the war enters an even deadlier phase.

Iran has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continuing uranium enrichment as talks with European powers loom in Istanbul on July 25. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that despite the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the nation’s atomic program remains a symbol of "national pride" and non‑negotiable sovereignty.
Simultaneously, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed acceptance of a technical delegation from the IAEA in the coming weeks to discuss future cooperation modalities—but clarified they will not inspect nuclear sites or facilities.
European leaders from the UK, France, and Germany are set to press for an extension or activation of the JCPOA’s "snapback" sanctions mechanism unless Iran makes verifiable concessions, including limiting enriched uranium stockpiles and resuming full cooperation with inspectors. Tehran insists that any renewed US engagement must begin with rebuilding trust and rejecting military covert agendas

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets.
Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure.
