South Korea and the United States have begun the 11-day Ulchi Freedom Shield (UFS) exercise, simulating an “all-out war” scenario. The drills involve 19,000 South Korean troops and include various military activities aimed at countering North Korean provocations. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol emphasized the need for readiness against potential threats from North Korea, including cyber attacks and misinformation.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged 84 prisoners each, with the UAE mediating. Russia said its soldiers are in Belarus for medical and psychological care, while Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy confirmed that many returnees need treatment, including Mariupol defenders and civilians held since as early as 2014.
