Tuberville accuses Zelensky of attempting to ‘lure NATO' into Russian conflict
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was undoubtedly trying to 'lure NATO' into their war with Russia. 'There is no doubt, because he cannot win this war on his own. He knows he's losing,' Tuberville said during a Sunday appearance on John Catsimatidis's radio show 'Cats Roundtable' on WABC 770 AM. However, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously mentioned that the country would never join NATO, although he later walked back the comments. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and has continued to launch deadly drone strikes on the country in an effort to gain more land. The Kremlin attacked the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on Saturday, wounding 80 and killing at least six. Russia ramped up its strikes after Ukraine successfully completed a series of drone attacks to defend its sovereign borders. 'They drove trucks 2,000 miles into Russia. They had drones that were covered up in the backs of these trucks. They got close to the targets, opened up these trucks, the drones flew out and destroyed somewhere around 40 major airplanes that Russia uses in their nuclear arsenal,' Tuberville said. 'It was devastating. Then again, both sides are at fault. Let's get this thing over with. And President Trump is the one who can get this done,' he continued. His rhetoric aligns with President Trump's past statements alleging Ukraine caused the war and shouldn't seek to recover the Crimea region. Trump publicly chastised his counterpart Zelensky in the Oval Office in February, warranting a chorus of responses from national lawmakers and international leaders. During Sunday's interview, Tuberville also slammed Zelensky's presidency, describing him as a 'dictator.' 'Zelensky is a dictator, and he has created all sorts of problems. We've got a lot of money that's been missing. No telling where it's gone…,' Tuberville said. 'I think both of these [nations] have lost close to 500,000 to 700,000 people. It's devastating to the world,' he added. Senators have considered sanctions on Russia for refusing to agree to a ceasefire amidst angst. However, they ultimately held off deciding to follow the president's lead.

Russia continues to accuse Ukraine of delaying planned exchange of dead fighters
Russian officials said Sunday that Moscow is still awaiting official confirmation from Kyiv that a planned exchange of 6,000 bodies of soldiers killed in action will take place, reiterating allegations that Ukraine had postponed the swap. Russian state media quoted Lt. Gen. Alexander Zorin, a representative of the Russian negotiating group, as saying that Russia delivered the first batch of 1,212 bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers to the exchange site at the border and is waiting for confirmation from the Ukrainian side, but that there are 'signals' that the process of transferring the bodies will be postponed until next week. Russia and Ukraine each accused the other on Saturday of endangering plans to swap 6,000 bodies of soldiers killed in action, which was agreed upon during direct talks in Istanbul on Monday that otherwise made no progress toward ending the war. Vladimir Medinsky, a Putin aide who led the Russian delegation, said that Kyiv called a last-minute halt to an imminent swap. In a Telegram post on Saturday, Medinsky said that refrigerated trucks carrying more than 1,200 bodies of Ukrainian troops from Russia had already reached the agreed exchange site at the border when the news came. In response, Ukraine said Russia was playing 'dirty games' and manipulating facts. According to the main Ukrainian authority dealing with such swaps, no date had been set for repatriating the bodies. In a statement on Saturday, the agency also accused Russia of submitting lists of prisoners of war for repatriation that didn't correspond to agreements reached on Monday. It wasn't immediately possible to reconcile the conflicting claims. In other developments, one person was killed and another seriously wounded in Russian aerial strikes on the eastern Ukrainian Kharkiv region. These strikes came after Russian attacks targeting the regional capital, also called Kharkiv, killed at least four people and wounded more than two dozen others on Saturday. Russia fired a total of 49 exploding drones and decoys and three missiles overnight, Ukraine's air force said Sunday. Forty drones were shot down or electronically jammed. Meanwhile, Russia's defense ministry said that its forces shot down 61 Ukrainian drones overnight, including near the capital. Two people were wounded when a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at a chemical plant in the Tula region. ___
