Sunday saw Ukraine’s largest prisoner swap, with 303 defenders returning to their families in scenes of emotional reunion. The nation briefly celebrated, cherishing a hard-won victory for humanity amid the ongoing war.
But the joy was short-lived. As night fell, Russia launched its most massive aerial attack yet, firing 367 drones and missiles across multiple cities. The assault left at least 12 dead, including three children, and reduced entire neighborhoods to ashes.
These events highlight the relentless hardship faced by Ukrainians. Even as moments of hope emerge, the violence continues unabated. The call for international action to end the suffering grows ever more urgent.
