Kyiv was attacked by drones and missiles on May 24, 2023, resulting in explosions across the city. Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko confirmed that air defenses were deployed and fire incidents were reported in Sviatoshinskiy district. Thankfully, no casualties were reported. This assault coincided with a significant prisoner swap of 1,000 individuals, marking the largest exchange since the full-scale invasion began. President Zelenskyy emphasized the exchange as a positive step, while former President Trump viewed it as a potential avenue for broader peace negotiations.
In a statement on Telegram, Klitschko emphasized, 'The city and the region are under a combined enemy attack,' underscoring the heightened state of alert for Kyiv.
President Zelenskyy proclaimed, 'We are bringing our people home,' highlighting the significance of the recent prisoner swap and its potential to foster dialogue.
After the swap, Zelenskyy noted, 'The first part of the agreement on the 1,000-for-1,000 exchange has been implemented,' indicating a crucial milestone in negotiations.
Trump remarked on the prison exchange, suggesting, 'This could lead to something big???,' hinting at the possibility of future diplomatic progress despite earlier skepticism.
