Meanwhile, Russian missiles devastated Mykolaiv and Zaporizhia, causing casualties and destruction.

In the skies, both sides traded heavy drone and missile fire, with dozens intercepted—but many still hitting their targets. On the political front, a major breakthrough: Ukraine and Russia have agreed in principle to a prisoner swap involving 1,200 people. Zelenskyy also made key military and diplomatic moves, while China and Russia began joint naval drills.

Watch the full update for the latest frontline events and major political shifts that could shape the next phase of this ongoing war.
