Ukraine War & POW Swap: Kyiv mourned 24 people killed in a Russian strike, including three girls, as rescue work ended and a new prisoner exchange went ahead—205 Ukrainians freed, with Russia’s 205 returning via Belarus as part of a larger 1,000-for-1,000 plan. Belarus Drawn In: Zelensky says Russia is pressing Lukashenko to join new operations from Belarus, warning of strikes toward the Chernihiv–Kyiv direction or even against NATO states, and Ukraine is preparing a response plan. Kyiv Retaliation Signals: Zelensky vowed “retribution” and said Ukraine is “entirely justified” in hitting Russia’s oil and weapons industries and those behind war crimes. US-Russia-China at UN: A new US-aligned bloc backed Russia and China at the ILO, pushing to soften language on Ukraine’s invasion. Sports & Sanctions Easing: UWW lifted restrictions on Russian and Belarusian wrestlers, allowing them to compete under national flags. Local Humanitarian Diplomacy: Lukashenko met US evangelist Franklin Graham, praising US humanitarian aid as relations thaw. Trade & Culture: Kazakhstan’s Q1 trade surged 10.5%, while Belarus’ “Chinese Bridge” competition in Minsk concluded with winners set to represent the country in China.
