🇬🇧 UK Foreign Secretary on Russia’s latest attack: “These are not the actions of a country seeking peace.”

“Last night, Russia launched 14 missiles and hundreds of drones across Ukraine. Another night of terror for civilians, more homes damaged and destroyed.”

🇺🇸 US Intelligence: Putin remains committed to victory in Ukraine. A new assessment says Moscow is betting on a war of attrition—aiming to wear down Ukraine’s resistance, demoralize its population, and wait out Western support. Despite slow advances, Russia likely sees the pace as acceptable.

Precision strike by Ukraine’s Southern Defense Forces on the Kherson front — a Russian motorcycle and its riders were eliminated while attempting to flee.

🇹🇷 On May 26, Turkish FM Hakan Fidan will reportedly visit Russia to discuss the situation in Ukraine following talks in Istanbul. He is expected to convey Türkiye’s interest in a lasting and just peace.

🇸🇰 Slovakia’s ruling coalition party SNS says the country has the right to demand financial compensation from Ukraine for aid provided. They also call on PM Robert Fico to initiate an EU procedure to secure a share in Ukraine’s mineral wealth at the next European Council meeting.

"I've never had a gift like this" — a Ukrainian soldier was released from captivity on his mother's birthday. He called her right away. She couldn’t hold back her tears

Tatiana came to today’s POW exchange hoping for news about her husband — but never expected to see him among the freed defenders.

“I didn’t know... but I had a dream I’d meet him on the road. Yesterday we were waiting there, but the guys didn’t come,” she said.

Today, her dream came true.

A Russian vehicle tried to flee the village of Pisky in Donetsk region — but was swiftly intercepted by a Ukrainian drone.

⚡️BREAKING: EU may buy U.S. weapons for Ukraine — Bloomberg

Amid Trump’s reluctance to back Kyiv and Europe’s limited stockpiles, EU leaders are considering purchasing American arms to supply the Ukrainian military.

🇺🇦Zelensky: Another 307 Ukrainian defenders returned home today as part of the ongoing POW exchange. Most are from the Armed Forces, with others from the National Guard and Border Service.

In total, 697 have been freed over two days. The goal: bring everyone back. Tomorrow is the third stage

💥 A Russian BMP-1 was blown to bits on the Toretsk front.

🇺🇸 Trump tried to take credit for Ukraine’s biggest POW swap — before it even began, Politico reports.

Kyiv had kept the operation secret for safety. “Then Trump woke up in Washington,” said one official. Fortunately, his post didn’t derail the delicate exchange.

🇺🇦 During a recent air raid, a Ukrainian Air Force Mi-8 crew successfully shot down a Russian Shahed-136 kamikaze drone mid-flight.

🚀🇺🇸 Trump claims Russia "stole hypersonic missile tech" from the U.S. during the Obama era:

"We were the developers. They stole it... the Russians. Something bad happened. But now we’re building them again — in large numbers."

Another day, another delusion?
