Russian President Volodymyr Zelensky has welcomed Ukraine's surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region on August 6, while also signing a law banning the Moscow-linked Orthodox Church. The US has announced a new round of military aid for Ukraine following a call between President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Zelensky. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine have exchanged 230 prisoners of war, marking the first such exchange since Ukraine's surprise attack into Russia's Kursk region on August 6. This prisoner swap is notable, as both sides have previously carried out periodic prisoner swaps through intermediaries.

    1. The UAE has successfully mediated a new captives exchange between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Ukraine, resulting in the release of 230 captives.
    1. Europe will always be at Ukraine's side because Ukraine is Europe. Your freedom is our freedom. Your security is our security.
    2. And now you are moving at incredible speed towards joining the European Union. We have been standing with you since day one and we will continue to do so for as long as it takes. Slava Ukraini [glory to Ukraine].
    1. This brings closer the release of our military, our civilians from Russian captivity. Thanks to our team and partners, the UAE for our people returning home.
    2. This is not a prediction, not gloating, not blind revenge. It is justice.
    3. We are searching for them and making every effort to bring them all back.
    4. Anyone who wants to sow evil on our land will reap its fruit on their territory.
    5. Russia was seeking one thing: to destroy us. Instead, today we celebrate the 33rd Independence Day of Ukraine. And what the enemy brought to our land has now returned to his home.
    6. Today, we had the first and successful combat use of our new weapon — a completely new class of weapon, the Ukrainian missile drone 'Palyanitsa,'
    1. The worry is that there would be massive Russian drone or missile attack; this has been expected over the past day.
