Kyiv suffered a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack early Saturday, causing explosions and forcing residents into shelters. Six people required medical attention, and fires broke out. This attack followed a major prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine, involving hundreds of soldiers and civilians. The swap, the largest of the war so far, was part of ongoing efforts to achieve a ceasefire, although fighting continues along the front lines. Despite the exchange, diplomatic efforts to end the three-year conflict remain stalled.
