Large-scale Ukraine-Russia POW exchange agreed in Istanbul begins – photos, video
A new exchange between Ukraine and Russia has began on Monday 9 June, and will continue in several stages over the coming days. Source: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on X (Twitter) Quote: "Ukrainians are returning home from Russian captivity. Today, an exchange began, which will continue in several stages over the coming days. Among those we are bringing back now are the wounded, the severely wounded, and those under the age of 25. The process is quite complex, with many sensitive details, and negotiations continue virtually every day. We count on the full implementation of the humanitarian agreements reached during the meeting in Istanbul. We are doing everything possible to bring back every single person. We are working toward this at every level." Details: The Coordination Headquarters has stated that, for security reasons, the final number of released prisoners will be made public after the exchange process is complete. The first group of POWs are service members aged under 25, who have been released today. Among those freed are members of the Ukrainian Navy, Ground Forces, Territorial Defence Forces, the Air Force, Air Assault Forces, the Border Guard Service, the National Guard and the State Special Transport Service. All those released are from the ranks of privates and sergeants. Ukrainian defenders brought back from Russian captivity.

This is only the first phase of the large-scale exchange that will continue under the agreed arrangements. The exchange concerns specific categories of prisoners of war, particularly those under the age of 25, as well as severely wounded and seriously ill POWs. Ukrainian defenders brought back from Russian captivity. Photo: Zelenskyy on X (Twitter) Work is also ongoing to repatriate the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers who died defending their homeland. The Coordination Headquarters has asserted that all released defenders will be provided with the necessary support.

Boulder attack suspect says he planned to use gun but was unable to buy one
The man accused of attacking a peaceful rally with molotov cocktails in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday told authorities he planned to use a gun and took a concealed firearm class – but was denied the purchase because he was not a US citizen. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, is facing federal and state charges over the attack which wounded 12 people as they held a weekly demonstration calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. He had planned to target the demonstration with 18 molotov cocktails in his possession but apparently had second thoughts and threw just two, according to authorities. In what the FBI has called a 'targeted terror attack', Soliman yelled: 'Free Palestine,' police wrote in an affidavit. Police said Soliman abandoned his full plan 'because he got scared and had never hurt anyone before'. Soliman, 45, is facing 16 state counts of attempted murder, 18 others related to the use of an incendiary device and a federal hate crime charge. The FBI said he also used a makeshift flamethrower against the demonstrators. On Tuesday, a day after White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, accused Joe Biden of 'foolishly' letting the Colorado attack suspect into our country and then failing to deport him when his visa expired, Kristi Noem posted on Twitter/X that Ice and DHS were taking Soliman's wife and five children into custody. 'This terrorist will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it or if they provided support to it,' Noem said. Related: Trump administration uses Colorado suspect's status to push deportation agenda In court papers charging Soliman with a federal hate crime, authorities said he had expressed no regrets about the attack and specifically targeted what he described as a 'Zionist group'. Soliman had planned the attack for more than a year, authorities allege. 'When he was interviewed about the attack, he said he wanted them all to die, he had no regrets and he would go back and do it again,' said J Bishop Grewell, the acting US attorney for the district of Colorado, during a news conference on Monday. An FBI affidavit said Soliman told the police he was driven by a desire 'to kill all Zionist people' – a reference to the movement to establish and protect a Jewish state in Israel. Authorities' affidavit said the molotov cocktails were made up of glass wine carafe bottles or jars with clear liquid and red rags hanging out of them, and he also carried gasoline in a commercial-grade, backpack weed sprayer. Soliman allegedly told investigators he planned to use the weed sprayer to burn himself to death and 'would never forgive himself if he did not do it', as the Wall Street Journal reported. 'He stated that he … was waiting until after his daughter graduated to conduct the attack,' said the affidavit, which added that investigators believe Soliman acted alone. As of Tuesday, Soliman was being held on a $10m, cash-only bond, prosecutors said. His next court hearing is tentatively set for Thursday. Soliman had been living in the US on an expired B-2 visitor visa for more than two years after entering the country in August 2022, according to Tricia McLaughlin, the Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary, in a post on X. He moved to Colorado Springs three years ago, where he lived with his wife and five children, according to state court documents. He previously spent 17 years living in Kuwait. Soliman worked as an Uber driver and had passed the company's eligibility requirements, which include a criminal background check, according to a spokesperson for the ride-share service. An online résumé also says he was employed by a Denver-area healthcare company working in accounting and stock inventory control. Authorities said that the victims wounded in the attack ranged in age from 52 to 88, and their injuries spanned from serious to minor. Six of the injured were taken to hospitals, and four have since been released, according to the organization of the targeted demonstration, the Denver-based group Run for Their Lives. Alex Osante, a witness from San Diego who filmed the aftermath of the attack, said Soliman evidently set himself on fire as he threw the second molotov cocktail and had removed his shirt to reveal what appeared to be a bulletproof vest. Soliman was arrested without any apparent resistance, according to the video Osante filmed. Authorities said Soliman was injured and taken to a hospital but did not elaborate on his injuries. A booking photo showed him with a bandage over one ear. The attack at the popular Pearl Street pedestrian mall in downtown Boulder comes amid rising tensions over the Israel-Hamas war that has contributed to an increase in antisemitic violence in the US. It comes nearly two weeks after a man was charged with fatally shooting two Israeli embassy staffers outside a Jewish museum in Washington. As police arrested him, the suspect in that attack, identified as 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, yelled: 'I did this for Gaza. Free Palestine. There's only one solution, intifada revolution.' In April, a man set fire to the residence of Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania's governor who is Jewish. The suspect later said the fire was a response to Israeli attacks on Palestinians. Rabbi Yisroel and Leah Wilhelm, directors of the Rohr Chabad House at Boulder's University of Colorado, said in a statement that they had received 'an immense wave of positive messages' after the attack. They said that was 'another signal of the health and strong spirits of our community'.
