In a historic prisoner exchange deal on Thursday, U.S President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris welcomed American prisoners Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, who had been released by Russia. The released prisoners arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where they were greeted by Biden, Harris, and other top US officials. However, a moment during the event sparked controversy and misleading claims on social media. As the prisoners disembarked from the plane, Biden and Harris addressed the press before meeting with the freed individuals and their families. Shortly after, Biden was seen walking back up the steps of the aircraft. This led to a flurry of online speculation and rumours, particularly on the social media platform X, where users claimed that Biden had mistakenly boarded an empty plane.

The use of sanctions failed to deter Russia from invading Ukraine and failed to persuade Moscow to end it - and yet despite one of the most dramatic escalations.. Sky News
In response to recent Ukrainian drone strikes that damaged residential areas in Moscow's suburbs, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has sharply criticised the attacks, asserting that they have no place in legitimate military operations. Peskov condemned the targeting of civilian infrastructure, describing it as a clear indication of the aggressive nature of the Ukrainian government. He emphasised that Russia must continue its military operations to protect against such attacks, while the Defense Ministry reported intercepting 144 drones during the overnight assault. The intensified drone strikes, which have increasingly targeted both residential and energy infrastructure, have heightened tensions and escalated the conflict.
