⌨Following Putin's rejection of a full ceasefire but acceptance of an energy strike pause, Russia launched 145 drones against Ukraine overnight. Morning coverage focused on upcoming US-Russia talks in Jeddah on March 23, with Zelensky announcing a call with Trump later in the day.
By midday, Ukraine announced the return of 197 defenders from Russian captivity—one of the largest prisoner exchanges to date. This fulfilled a key element discussed in the Trump-Putin call.
