AGP Executive Report

Last update: 29 minutes ago

Kyiv Under Fire: Russia kept up a third straight day of heavy drone-and-missile strikes, flattening a Kyiv apartment block and killing 24 people, including three teenagers, as rescue crews finished a grim search and the city marked a day of mourning. Ceasefire Claims vs Reality: Amid a short-lived truce tied to prisoner exchanges, Moscow accused Ukraine of thousands of violations, while Kyiv and others pointed to continued attacks and civilian harm. Prisoner Swap: Hours after the Kyiv strike, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 205 prisoners, part of a broader push to trade captives even as fighting raged. Belarus Warning: Zelenskiy says Russia is trying to pull Belarus deeper into the war, with plans that could target northern Ukraine or even a NATO country from Belarusian territory. Accountability Push: Cyprus joined a growing coalition backing a special tribunal in The Hague to prosecute Russia’s crime of aggression, with officials calling it a “point of no return.” Putin’s China Pivot: Trump returned from Beijing saying Xi and he want the war “settled,” while Putin is set to visit China next week. Domestic Signal: Russia’s state pollster VTsIOM revised Putin approval polling after a wartime-low drop, hinting at Kremlin anxiety over public mood.
