💨 Abstract

On May 23, 2025, Kyiv, Ukraine, experienced a significant drone and missile attack despite an earlier prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia. The attack, which caused multiple injuries and fires, followed a major prisoner swap that brought back 390 Ukrainians. Kyiv's mayor had warned of incoming drones before the attack. The prisoner exchange, while a moment of cooperation, did not stop ongoing battles along the front lines.
