Ukraine hit by Russian attacks as Moscow, Kyiv conclude prisoner swap

Al JazeeraSunday, May 25, 2025 at 8:16:48 AM
Ukraine faced a wave of Russian air attacks during what was supposed to be a hopeful moment—the conclusion of a major prisoner swap between Kyiv and Moscow. The Ukrainian foreign minister called the strikes the largest in weeks, casting a shadow over the rare diplomatic progress.
Editor’s Note: Even as both sides managed to negotiate a prisoner exchange—a small but meaningful step—the simultaneous escalation in violence underscores how fragile any progress is in this war. It’s a stark reminder that diplomacy and destruction are tragically intertwined here, and civilians continue to bear the brunt.

French authorities investigate power blackout blamed on sabotage
negativeWorld Affairs
French officials are probing what they call a deliberate attack on the power grid after vandals torched an electrical transformer and cut down pylon pillars near Nice, leaving 45,000 people in the dark. This comes just a day after another suspicious blackout hit the Cannes Film Festival’s closing night, raising concerns about coordinated sabotage. Power was restored by Sunday, but the repeated incidents have put authorities on high alert.
Editor’s Note: These aren’t just random outages—they’re being treated as intentional acts, which is pretty alarming. With back-to-back incidents, it suggests someone’s targeting France’s critical infrastructure, and that’s a problem for both everyday life (imagine no lights, no transit) and big events like Cannes. If this is part of a broader pattern, it could signal rising risks to Europe’s energy grids.
Lando Norris wins Monaco F1 GP to close gap on championship leader Piastri
positiveWorld Affairs
Lando Norris pulled off a flawless victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, leading from start to finish in a race that didn’t quite deliver the drama F1 organizers hoped for. Despite a new rule requiring mandatory pit stops to spice things up, the race stayed largely processional, with Norris holding off Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and his own McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. The win tightens the championship battle, proving McLaren’s resurgence this season is no fluke.
Editor’s Note: Monaco is F1’s crown jewel, but its tight streets often make for boring races—this year was no exception, despite rule tweaks. Norris’s win isn’t just a personal triumph; it signals McLaren’s return as a top-tier team and shakes up the title fight. For fans, it’s a refreshing change from Red Bull’s usual dominance and sets up an intriguing season ahead.
Ukrainian attack destroys Russian church dome (VIDEO)
negativeWorld Affairs
A Ukrainian attack has reportedly destroyed the dome of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Russia's Tula Region, with the governor confirming the main spire was completely burned. Video footage shows the extent of the damage.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just about a building—it's another grim escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war, where cultural and religious sites are becoming collateral damage. Attacks like these deepen the emotional toll of the conflict, fueling outrage on both sides and making reconciliation even harder. It also raises questions about targeting in warfare—what's considered fair game, and what crosses a line?
