The day was dominated by the aftermath of the Russian strike on Kyiv, with the death toll rising from 21 to 24, including three children, as rescue operations concluded in the Darnytskyi district. In the morning, Ukraine confirmed the return of 205 prisoners in the first stage of a 1,000-for-1,000 exchange. By early afternoon, Zelensky warned of leaked documents showing Russia preparing strikes on Ukrainian 'decision-making centers,' including the Presidential Office. Trump suggested the deadly strike could undermine peace talks. Separately, a special operation in Khmelnytskyi region eliminated a suspect who shot a police officer.
