Zelenskyy offers captured North Korean soldiers for Ukrainians held by Russia
Sunday, 12 January 2025 Ukraine's president is offering a prisoner swap with North Korean soldiers it has captured, in exchange for Ukrainians held by Russia.
The Security Service for Ukraine announced on Saturday that it had captured two soldiers from North Korea in Russia’s Kursk region and they are being questioned in Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy paid tribute to Pope Francis following his death at age 88, calling him a spiritual figure who “knew how to give hope, ease suffering, and foster unity.”
The pope had repeatedly condemned the war in Ukraine, praying for peace and denouncing violence. Zelenskyy’s message reflects the deep spiritual connection many Ukrainians felt toward Francis during the ongoing invasion.
This story looks at how Pope Francis became a symbol of resilience and comfort in times of war.

What was meant to be a 30-hour Easter ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine quickly descended into chaos, as both sides exchanged fire and accusations. Within hours of Russian President Vladimir Putin announcing a “humanitarian” truce, Ukrainian strikes reportedly hit Donetsk and Lugansk, triggering fires and damage. Kyiv, meanwhile, accused Moscow of using the ceasefire as a smokescreen while continuing drone and artillery attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Russia carried out nearly 400 assaults overnight, but questions are now being raised: Did Zelensky fall into a trap? Who really broke the truce first?

Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire: Russia’s sudden announcement of a 30-hour Easter ceasefire has been met with outrage and deep suspicion in Ukraine. Citizens across Kyiv and other cities have rejected the so-called truce, calling it a deceptive move by the Kremlin to regroup and reload. Many Ukrainians label the ceasefire a propaganda stunt, insisting that “terrorists cannot be trusted” and warning that such pauses often precede intensified attacks. As missiles continue to fall in some regions, trust in Moscow’s intentions is nonexistent, and fears of a post-ceasefire assault loom large.

China has reportedly tested a cutting-edge, non-nuclear hydrogen bomb built from magnesium hydride, generating a searing fireball over 1,000°C that lasted 15 times longer than traditional TNT. Developed by researchers at China’s 705 Research Institute, this new explosive tech could reshape future battlefield weapons, mimicking thermobaric effects. The bomb offers precise control, extreme heat, and widespread damage potential. The successful test, revealed in a Chinese journal, hints at Beijing’s rapid military innovation. Mass production of the explosive compound has also begun, signaling broader deployment plans ahead.

President Trump’s sweeping global tariff plan has left allies stunned and adversaries relieved. While nations from Europe to Asia face a new 10% baseline tariff, even remote islands inhabited only by seals and penguins weren't spared. Yet, Russia and North Korea escaped penalties—despite ongoing tensions. The White House says sanctions make trade “meaningless,” but US-Russia commerce still surpasses many nations on the tariff list. With 34% on China and 17% on Israel, Trump’s second-term strategy appears to punish friends while repositioning rivals as future partners.

The Kremlin has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not extended the Easter ceasefire with Ukraine, which was set to end at midnight on April 21. Despite Putin's initial announcement for a 30-hour truce, both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of multiple violations during the pause. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov clarified that no additional orders were given to prolong the ceasefire. Ukrainian President Zelensky indicated willingness to extend the truce if Moscow adhered to the terms, but both sides reported hundreds of attacks during the declared pause in hostilities.
